Bénédictine Palace

Highlight • Monument

The palais was purpose-built to house the D.O.M. Bénédictine distillery, as the original was burned down in 1892. The replacement, completed in 1898, the year Alexander Le Grand died, is both splashy and ornate at the same time, with gothic and renaissance characteristics at play.

The background: In 1863 wine merchant Alexandre Le Grand developed a recipe for an herbal liqueur flavored with twenty-seven flowers, berries, herbs, roots, and spices, helped by a local chemist, from old medicinal recipes that he had acquired from a religious foundation where a maternal grandparent had held office as a fiscal prosecutor. To market it, he embellished a story of it having been developed by monks at the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, and produced by them until the abbey's devastation during the French Revolution. He began production under the trade name "Bénédictine", using a bottle with a distinguishing shape and label. To reinforce his myth, he placed the abbreviation "D.O.M." on the label, for "Deo Optimo Maximo" ("To God, most good, most great"), used at the beginning of documents by the Benedictine Order to dedicate their work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9n%C3%A9dictine#History

Worth seeing for lighthouse fans, as the adjacent wooden walkway construction together with the lighthouse is unique.

Bénouville

Highlight • Settlement

The church is dedicated to Notre-Dame: its choir from the end of the 12th century has pointed vaults and its nave probably dates from the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century.
The choir was decorated with frescoes by the religious painter Louis Chifflet around 1895: there are two paintings in arcades, each representing a scene from "the childhood of Christ". In the nave a funerary plaque dated 1768 mentions Antoine Gillain, Marquis de Bénouville. The coat of arms of the Gillain family are inserted in an oval Sable and composed of a chevron Or, a silver crescent to the dexter, a gold star to the sinister and an armed and langued lion gules in point, the whole surmounted by a crown of marquis.
Two wooden statues hold the attention:
Saint Eutrope (XVI-XVIIth century); bishop healer of dropsy1
Our Lady of the Harbor
We also note the existence of a remarkable Eucharistic reserve in polychrome stone. It consists of two superimposed cylindrical floors crowned with a dove.

Etretat is the most famous village on the Côte d'Albâtre. When you see this kind of scenery you quickly understand why. The top of the cliffs is accessible on foot by wooden stairs and paths: splendid views on the program.

Old Market of Étretat

Highlight • Historical Site

It is a covered market hall, which is very worth seeing from the outside and offers a beautiful view of the great roof construction inside
