ETRETAT
Seine-Maritime department in Normandy in north-western France
Visiting Etretat is like visiting a Paradise .. Stunning and beautiful nature. It is wonderful seeing in the photos also in the websites but to see it to yourself it brings happiness and calmness . So far this is the most wonderful Cliff ,beach and sea in one package in part of north-western France
The cliffs steal the show at Etretat, thanks to their exceptional natural drama and aided by the fact that famous Impressionists painted them so memorably. Erosion has created extraordinary arches in the chalk either side of the resort. There’s also an amazing needle-like structure, known in French as an Aiguille.
There is more to Etretat than the cliff formations and the thick pebble beach, though. The small resort behind is full of charm. Along with some extravagant hotels, the remarkable wooden covered market stands out. Le Clos Lupin, a typical old villa in town, conceals mysteries for visitors, while the churches around Etretat stand out more prominently.
Back with the cliffs, you can go for some stunning walks along the cliff tops, where further surprises await, including a breath-taking golf course. Return to the famous cliff formations on the beach at night and you can see them magically lit up.
A bridge Way down to the foot of the Cliff
I love Adventure so I went down and to be in the bottom of the Cliff it is so amazing and so much fun , Hope when you visit here do not missed to come down too so you don’t missed the part of the adventure .. The bridge is safe no so worries ..
Tunnel to under the Cliff to go to the Otherside
Dark so dark . Need to on my flashlight of my phone to see where I go.
This is also Option to the Adventurous to go through the dark and see the beautiful light in the End.
The Hill
In other side of the Cliff you can witness how beautiful the sea is. Your can walk to go up or use a car just different route . Here, there is a small like church and piece or art, shame that I don’t have that photo anymore but you can google it to have an idea .
I really wish that I could visit this place again …. This is a great experience ..And hope you can visit too.
Hopefully you like the photos .

Transportation Tips:
By Train and Bus to Entret:
Trains no longer operate all the way to Entret. Travelers using public transportation usually have to transfer to a bus service at Le Havre but occasionally Bréauté or Fecamp can also be sensible options.
Trains arrive frequently in Le Havre from Paris and Rouen. However, the lack of bridges across the Seine means that travelers from most other parts of France will have to change trains at either Rouen or even Paris-Saint Lazare en route to Le Havre. French train tickets can be bought from the official English websites of French Railways – Voyages SNCF (UK & Europe) or RailEurope (USA).
(Etretat station is only service by velo-rail – a type of bicycle train for tourists; enquire from the tourist office for details.)
Bus 24 from Le Havre to Etretat
The main bus service to Etretat is line 24 between Le Havre via Etretat and Fecamp. Ligne n° 24 is operated by Keolis Seine Maritime – currently, this bus service is not included in transportation searches at SNCF.com but the timetable is available on the Etretat Tourist Office website.
