Les Jardins de Etretat is a scientific and artistic laboratory, which is looking for new technologies for plant care and the realization of new cuts.

Valleuse d'Antifer

Highlight • Other

Valleuse Antifer: A "valley" is a floating valley. Due to the erosion of the rocky hills, access to the valleys is sometimes limited or even completely blocked.
The Valleuse Antifer is protected by the Conservatoire du Littoral. A charming path (Rue d'Antifer) leads to a beautiful pebble beach. From there, you have a beautiful view, but given the location's fame, you're likely not the only one enjoying it. (Michelin)

Antifer Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

In addition to the Cap de la Hève, the chalk cliffs of the Cap d’Antifer serve as a secondary landmark for reaching Le Havre. After the Cap de la Hève had had a lighthouse since the 1790s, the Commission des Phares decided in 1890 to build a lighthouse on the Cap d'Antifer. The first tower had a total height of 32.50 m and was equipped with optics with a focal length of 1.33 m, which was large for the time. The optics came from the French company Barbier et Cie, were previously an exhibit at the World Exhibition in 1889 and were the only optics of such a large focal length ever installed in France.

Originally operated with mineral oil and wick burners, the light source was changed to strong light lamps and petroleum in 1905. In 1926 the lighthouse was electrified using diesel generators. The range was 31 miles.

The original lighthouse was completely destroyed by German troops in September 1944.

First temporarily replaced by a mast, the current lighthouse was built in the 1950s and put into operation in 1955

May 24, 2025,...eine Tour vom Campingplatz über Etretst, -Le Havre und zurück...
Etretat...a tourist hotspot. But a must-see. The scenery is spectacular. An e-bike is definitely an advantage here on the coast. It's constantly up and down hills. But it's worth exploring the landscape.
