Cliffs of Étretat – Great Attractions (France)

Take a tour of Cliffs of Étretat in France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. The Cliffs of Etretat look like they belong on the Mediterranean or in the tropics. This beautiful locale, which has attracted painters like Monet, is actually found in Northern France. The cliffs, some soaring over 300 feet into the air, offer unmatched ocean views. A particularly striking feature of the Etretat Cliffs is the sea arches at their base. Also, the "White Bird", a biplane attempting a Trans-Atlantic flight, was last seen here in 1927. The lovely little town of Etretat rests on a sandy resort beach between the cliffs.
