May 31, 2023,🇫🇷 Étretat – Traumtour in der Normandie

The Étretat cliffs (the Alabaster Coast) tour is a must-do for travelers to Normandy. I don't know if it's always as stormy there as it is today, I was afraid to sail over the cliffs, the squalls almost knocked me off my feet!
The landscape is incredible. Actually, I didn't want to run at all, just watch and be amazed. …

Beware, the tide comes very quickly - if you don't make it, you have to wait on one of the beaches until the next ebb or you will hopefully be saved - there is no telephone network😅. However, …

With hundreds of tourists along the cliffs. Parking in the town, at least 5 hours for 7.5€. So you can take your time and do a longer walk. For example to the lighthouse. Some of the paths were no longer passable and closed. If the weather is good, you can have some breathtaking views of the cliffs. The path is …
