Étretat

The primary attraction is the dramatic coastline, featuring the Porte d'Aval arch, the Manneporte arch, and the Aiguille (needle) rock formation. Hiking the clifftop paths, visiting the gardens of Étretat, and exploring the town's charming streets are also highly recommended.

The best time to visit Étretat is during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Summer is also popular, but the town can get very busy. Winter can be cold and windy, but offers a different, more dramatic perspective of the cliffs.

Wear sturdy shoes for hiking on the clifftop paths, as the terrain can be uneven. Check the weather forecast before you go, as conditions can change quickly. Be mindful of the tides, especially if you plan to walk on the beach. Bring a camera to capture the stunning views.
