When to go to Étretat?
Chalk cliffs carved into arches and needles frame a pebble beach where every wave rearranges the stones. The clifftop gardens are planted as a sequence of sculpted green rooms, each one opening onto the coast below. Above the Amont cliff, a small white chapel keeps watch over the village and everyone climbing up for the view.
