Normandy: Wonderful Etretat

Etretat didn't catch my attention until we were watching the French series Lupin. Being a fan of high coastal walks, I had to check it out. I resisted the temptations of longer walks, e.g. from Fecamp to Etretat, and decided to allow ourselves to explore all the viewpoints right around Etretat.

Those places were even more scenic than we had expected. We had a wonderful time exploring all the viewpoints. Now that we have been there, I see Etretat paintings in every art museum. It's the most popular landscape for French painters and I understand why.

Looking back to the Etretat beach and beyond. That's a golf course beyond the beach.




A few folks were in the water, but most were walking the cliffs or beach, or fishing.

And the walk continues....
