France’s Most Stunning Coastal Landscape: Étretat, Normandy

Welcome to Étretat—a coastal gem along Normandy’s Alabaster Coast where soaring white chalk cliffs drop dramatically into the turquoise English Channel. Renowned for its iconic natural arches, the towering "Needle" (L'Aiguille) rock, and centuries of artistic inspiration (from Claude Monet to Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin), Étretat offers some of the most breathtaking views in Europe. In this video, we take you along the coastal clifftop trails (Sentier des Douaniers), exploring both the Porte d'Aval and the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Garde perched high above the town. Whether you're planning a trip to Normandy or just taking in the views from home, here is your ultimate visual guide to France’s most dramatic coastline. #Etretat #Normandy #FranceTravel #AlabasterCoast #TravelVlog #CliffViews #Monet #ExploreFrance
