The cliffs are simply a dream. A highlight of a holiday in Normandy. I highly recommend a hike right along the cliffs. There's something for everyone, whether it's a short or long hike.

Yport is not as crowded as Etretat and has very cute streets.

Yport beach is a real insider tip on the Alabaster Coast. The pebbly beach offers you a fantastic view of the white cliffs that stretch along the coast and, in combination with the sea, create an impressive panorama. Yport itself has retained the charm of a small Norman fishing village, and a stroll along the promenade is the perfect way to absorb the tranquil atmosphere of this place. Along the coast you can enjoy the fresh sea air and stop off at one of the small restaurants to try freshly caught seafood. The beach is particularly interesting at low tide, when small snails and mussels cover the rocks and the tides change the landscape. Yport also offers you much more peace and quiet than busy Étretat and is ideal for a relaxing day by the sea. The view of the cliffs and the sea is truly unique, and if you like it cozy, you can sit down on the promenade with a drink and just enjoy nature

The Notre-Dame church in Bénouville is a little gem in Normandy that contains a lot of history and art. The choir of the church dates from the late 12th century and impresses with its pointed vaults. The nave was probably built in the 16th or early 17th century. Particularly worth seeing are the frescoes by the religious painter Louis Chifflet from 1895, depicting scenes from the childhood of Christ. Two beautiful wooden statues - Saint Eutrope and Our Lady of the Port - draw attention here. The tombstone of Antoine Gillain, Marquis de Bénouville, from 1768, as well as the coat of arms of the Gillain family, give the interior a historical depth. Another highlight is the remarkable Eucharistic reserve in polychrome stone, crowned by a dove. Despite the often large number of visitors who enliven the village, especially in season, this place retains its charm and offers you a glimpse into the rich history of the region. If you are walking through Bénouville, it is worth taking a short stop here to take in the silence and atmosphere of this historic place

The coastal path along the Falaise near Étretat is a true journey of discovery for the senses. The path takes you from the Jardins d'Étretat to Vattetot-sur-Mer, always along the impressive cliffs. The landscape changes constantly with the light, and every hour offers a new, picturesque setting reminiscent of the works of the Impressionists. It is as if you are walking through a living painting. This path offers you countless views of the rugged beauty of the Alabaster Coast, with the mighty cliffs rising majestically above the sea. It is a quiet path, away from the large crowds of tourists, which gives you the opportunity to experience nature in all its glory. It is best to pack a picnic blanket, as there are no benches along the path, but many places that are perfect for a rest. The hike up here on the cliffs not only offers breathtaking panoramas, but also interesting geological formations where you can see the different sedimentary layers of the coast. An absolute highlight for every hiker who wants to experience Normandy in all its diversity.

This narrow, 70-meter-high rock simply rises out of the sea, as if it were defying the forces of nature. The path along the coast takes you through impressive landscapes, and suddenly the view of this rock opens up - it's as if time stood still for a moment. Even if you can't get right up to the rock, the view from a distance is overwhelming. The rugged cliffs around Bénouville, the sound of the waves and the salty sea breeze make this moment perfect. Take a moment, sit on the grass and soak up the atmosphere. Ideal for a picnic, but also for just relaxing and letting your gaze wander. The combination of the white rocks, the blue sea and the narrow rock that rises out of the water like a needle is particularly memorable. It is one of those places that, despite its simplicity, has something magical about it.
