The cliffs of Etretat are very famous, the walks right on top of the cliffs are great and they stretch for miles, really wonderful for a good stroll. It's only 30 mins away from Le Havre by car.
This is our 2nd time here, not surprisingly, just to feel the greatness again but at sunset this time.
We came here around 5.45 pm. Like many said, the parking right next to the beach is pretty small. But it was relatively empty perhaps due to the late hour and low season now.
A TripAdvisor member mentioned about free parking up north in a church for drivers, so that's a 2nd alternative parking.
The paid parking here is from 7am to 7pm. The first 30 mins is free.
For those who intend to walk up on the cliffs either north or south and return, it's good to anticipate an easy 3 to 4 hours. Once you climb up, the rest is flat and easy, and you just enjoy the view and the scenery.
Just don't stray off the path. We saw a tourist taking a selfie on an overhanging cliff rock off the path and she was alone...Well...
We came to see the sunset this time and we are still awed by its beauty.
Many local French men could be seen fishing off the stone beach, catching mackerel, garfish or bream.
Don't miss this eternal and majestic wonder of nature !
