This circuit took us over the Aval cliff, over the Manneport cliff, then down to a beach to pass through the Eye of the Panda!!

Beautiful coastline near Ètretat; Normandy's chalk coast with a stunning view of the Channel. Then we walked back through meadows, etc. Finally, a few curious donkeys that seemed to be in a hug❤️🍀

September 11, 2024,Étretat

A must for all visitors to Normandy. The town of Étretat is accordingly busy. It is much more idyllic to set off from the neighboring town of Le Tilleul, because you start with nature rather than masses of tourists. Wonderful! We first went to a really beautiful little bay and let the wind and spray blow around our noses. Then …

The tour itself is great BUT, the paths are closed from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. There are no signs anywhere beforehand and you only know it when you're standing there. We had to make two detours which took an additional 45 minutes. The view from the beach and the cliffs is magnificent.

Unsere Reise führt uns zu den Kreidefelsen der Alabasterküste von Étretat in der Normandie.
Damit erreichen wir die Atlantikküste.

Kommen wir auf der Suche nach einem Parkplatz schon früh am Morgen nur beschwerlich in die Stadt hinein.
Ist ausgerechnet dieses Wochenende, über Himmelfahrt, ein riesiges Volksfest.

June 13, 2022,Etretat an der Küste rauf und runter

Our hiking highlight in Normandy.
There is good parking at the entrance to Etretat (free). Then a 10-minute walk (public toilet included) and since you only see the sea at the very end, tension builds up.
Then a wonderful look. Arrived here again at high tide (first google it), because then you get both.
First left up the coast, a …
