Top 30 things to do and attractions in Etretat

Worth the climb. The gardens were beautifully planned and reacted the local environment. The garden was the perfect companion to the art. A cup of tea and a treat in the cafe was the perfect full stop to a lovely moment in Etretat.

Nice and quite small park on the hill. There are some sculptures etc. but 20-30 mins more than enough. For 14 euros... big question mark. Maybe I don't understand the cultural impact - I wasn't impressed, sorry...

I think this botanical garden is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. There are so many different installations in a relatively small area. I didn’t spend a lot of time there, but it was definitely worth it – it’s quite big, and that’s part of its charm.

This place is absolutely beautiful, so good that even the weather didn’t ruin our experience! 10/10 and so happy we visited! Would be great if one day they got given the rest of the hill to make perfect like this place, it would definitely make Etretat UNESCO World Heritage worthy (as if the wonderful sea arches wouldn’t be enough already)!

Worth a visit if you’re in Étretat. Nice place to take a stroll during the afternoon and escape from the heat. Lots of cool exhibits on display. There’s also a cafe inside the garden if you want to take a caffeine break.

tourist scam for 12 euros. garden is very small, there are like 5 heads sculptures. you can see the sea from only one point, which is a dedicated photo area but since the garden is on the cliff there’s a better view right next to it and it’s FRE OF CHARGE. these 5 heads are not worth it and you can’t even take a normal picture because of the crowd of tourists. i don’t even know what else to say..

These gardens were the most beautiful and magical I've ever seen, filled with sculptures and lush greenery that made me feel like I had stepped into the world of Alice in Wonderland 🤍

Beautiful views to the see and cliffs. The cathedral looks old and small, and for now it is closed due to maintenance works. The place Could be reached via steps directly from the beach, or you could drive here though I didn’t noticed any parking lots Close to the gardens.

Pros: we arrived on Friday evening, the weather was bad so we had no problem to park for free right by the beach, otherwise there is for sure a problem with parking because the parking lot ia small and nearbay streets are narrow, the cliffs were nice - you can climb (walk up) on both sides, but I was much more excited about the stony beach and the gorgeous sounds that the waves made as they hit the rocks, it was an incredible experience to hear the power of the sea, we went up to the cliffs, took a few photos and returned back down, it's a very interesting place, worth seeing and especially for hearing, Cons: watch out for children - there are no obstacles on the cliffs - it is a extremelly dangerous area !!!

Church on a beautiful cliff. The view from the church us amazing also the view to the church is amazing. Easy to climb up to the church.

very haunting and beautiful church, great view. Rocky road to drive up but possible.

Absolutely breathtaking view. Difficult to take photographs without loads of tourists on them.

You can’t go inside. Beautiful views though

Beautiful views at the top. Architectonic arrangement worth a shot ;-)

It’s very important to visit this place with The AUDIOGUIDE !!! It is narrated by the Arsene Lupin, starts with meeting Le Clos and followed by Arsene’s stories. Each room is about one or more stories ( the rubbery, travel, people he met and etc) Although it is a very small place but it’s nicely made into a museum. It worth the visit specially if you are Arsen Lupin’s fan. At the end there’s a gift shop with comic books and stationery items and etc. Two downsides: - no toilet is in the place!!! - just two of the books in English.

You must be a real lupin fan to see this tour. Since we just know the show from netflix we mistly did not get the context of the tour since lupin was talking about a treasure. Not recommended if you are not a 100% lupin fan. However I can imagine that if you are a lupin fan it can be very very cool with a lot of stuff to see and souvenirs to buy at the end.

The most creative, best museum i've ever experienced! The audio guide, the design, the house itself, everything is perfect. Worth every penny.

Good

A cool stop on the way to Etreat beach.

Cool

(Translated by Google) The reception is appalling. It says the garden closes at 12:00 and that the ticket cut-off time is 11:30. We arrive at 11:15 and are told it's closed. We point this out, and they make up another excuse: apparently a large group had just entered, so it's not closed, but full. However, we'd been in the garden since 11:00 and not a single person had entered... This didn't make us want to pay for the tour at 1:30. I don't recommend it at all, it's a shame... (Original) L'accueil est détestable. Il est indiqué que le clos ferme à 12h et que l'arrêt de ticket se fait à 11h30, nous arrivons a 11h15 on nous dit que c'est fini. Nous faisons la remarque et on nous invente une autre excuse, apparemment un gros groupe vient d'entrer donc ce n'est oas fermé mais complet. Or, nous étions dans le jardin depuis 11h et pas 1 seule personne n'est entrée... Cela ne nous a pas donné envie de payer la visite à 13h30. Je ne recommande pas du tout, dommage ...

The natural formation is in itself spectacular but it's the color of the ocean around it, the color of the cliffs, the sound of the ocean, the waves, the cries of the seagulls, the tall grass growing on the hills bending to the wind, the wild flowers, creating that picturesque landscape, all coming together for an unforgettable experience and ambience. When it's cloudy, the colors are so special somehow. The walk up to either side to the see the views is not bad at all, like a ten minute climb. Enjoy your experience! Take a picnic up to the top of the hill to enjoy the serenity longer!

A piece of heaven. Loved the place long time back when I went there for work and fall in love with it. A wonderful place with an amazing view. This time spent a full day and weather was exactly what you expected to have the best experience. A must see place in west of France

What more can you say? Stunning natural rock formations, a postcard-worthy arch, crashing waves, and... scattered German concrete bunkers. It’s a mix of dramatic cliffs, windswept plains, and wartime history that somehow works. The views are breathtaking from both above and below — and when the wind picks up, walking becomes a full-body sport. A place that impresses without even trying. :)

Absolute must see in the Normandy, breathtaking views and a unique feeling. Very crowdy, don’t try to park in the city , you will fail :) better to stay a kilometer or so before the coast and take a walk instead. Or go there early in the morning, then you will be able to find a parking spot near the edge. Otherwise be prepared paying 25euros / day to locals offering parking spaces in their gardens :) Lot of restaurants and shops in the area, but most important are views from the cliffs. There’s also a small „train” which takes you to the cliff on the right (that one with church on the top) .

The arch and scenary is, like in so many places around the coast of Normandy, incredible. Walking to the top is worth it if you want to enjoy the view. A few things to note: Walking to the top takes a while and may be exhausting. Given the step stairs, it is impossible for people having problems with walking or stairs. Though some basic railing exists, especially children should be very careful. Especially around summer the area is a tourist hot spot and therefore full of people. This will certainly slow you down too.

This place is amazing! If you are into hiking, I'll recommend to you to park your car outside the downtown. Go to parking area so called "my parking etretat" and then walk few minutes to small street called "Petit Valaine". At the beginning it's lil bit climby and then you will find big field on your left, and golf course area on your right. Just walk following the golf shape of the golf course until you'll find the magnificent view. This path is unofficial walk, but I saw some local going through this path and also this path is MUCH better because there is no STEEP stairs (I noticed the official path has steep stairs). So with this path, you will just go downhill instead of uphills. Worth to try.

It is a very inspiring place, even Monet created 90 paintings on Etretat as subject , amazing place that make me spend two week to paint it in impasto style

Incredible beauty all around! The beach is charmingly covered in little pebbles and smooth stones! I loved every bit of it

✨ A must-see in Normandy! ✨ The view from La Falaise d’Amont is absolutely breathtaking ,endless ocean meeting dramatic white cliffs, with the charming town of Étretat below. It’s the kind of place that makes you pause, breathe deeply, and feel the beauty of nature all around you. If you’re passing through Normandy, make sure to stop here ,the walk is easy, the air is fresh, and the scenery will stay with you forever.

Very nice to visit! You can walk beside the cliffs and have some very awesome views! You can also walk on the beach and there are some restaurants nearby in the village. I do recommend to go early because its very crowded otherwise.

An incredibly beautiful place. If you want to fully experience all its beauty, climb up the cliff early in the morning. It’s unforgettable

Be sure to find a good day to go. If you don’t have too much energy, you can take the little train up to the top and then hike from there to yport. Around 10km with good views.

Nice view an adapted hiking even for my five years old child 😎

We recommend doing a walk up to this point and continueing the walk further along the cliffs. Walk itself is maybe 100m of steep stairs, but the view is worth it.

Very beautiful monument remembering the disappearance of two pilots in a plane in 1927 while trying to complete the nonstop crossing from Paris to New York. There are separate parts to the monument, and one is visible only from above.

Monument for Numgesser and Coli, who attempted to fly from Paris to New York. Original was bombed during WWII and this is new one. English explanation available, start from the museum.

Must visit when traveling to etretat, great views with lot’s of history, also remember the end scene (season 1) of the Netflix hit series Lupin 😉

Interesting to read about them and awesome view. Up the way way are the beautiful gardens and a bit lower the hotel and restaurant Donjon looks inviting.

very big monument, you may. it realise you're on it. it's quite hidden in the ground. the shape of a plane in concrete. the letters on it says it, you're walking on it.

Big piece of architecture. You can see it from the cliffs

Nice!

Simply incredibile ! Definitely worthy walking a bit further to enjoy the views of the arch of the Falesie d'Aval.

Beautiful place, great hiking trail, amazing view at any weather. Can be easily accessed from the Etretat.

The view is stunning from up there. But keep in mind that it is a rather tiring to approach place if you need to go there making a circle path on foot via the parking before the entrance of Etretat. You shall have to walk through fields and it will take about 45 minutes to arrive.

Amazing coastline and beautiful place to walk at the coast. This is the place to see natural architecture.

Good view

(Translated by Google) From this spot, Falaise La Manneport, you have a truly impressive panoramic view of the Chalk formations, so eroded by time. Geologically speaking, it's a marvel of nature. The climb to this point is more than worth it. Breathtakingly enjoy the diverse views. (Original) Vanaf deze plek , Falaise La Manneport heb je werkelijk een imposant panorama zicht op de Krijtformaties , welke door de tijd, zo zijn uitgesleten. Geologisch gezien in wonder van de natuur. Het is de klim naar dit punt meer dan waard om te ondernemen. Ademloos genieten van de diverse uitxichtenm

(Translated by Google) Certainly one of the most beautiful views in France for all lovers of coastal panoramas. It's also my other half and I's favorite place to enjoy a drink with a view, whether morning or afternoon 🍷 We're not from the area at all, but it's an annual tradition to come and enjoy this magnificent view for a short weekend in August. Just to tell you how worth it it is 😍 (Original) Certainement l’un des plus belles vues de France pour tout les amateurs de panoramas sur le littoral. C’est également notre endroit préféré, à ma moitié et moi, pour prendre un petit apéro avec vue, que ce soit matin ou après midi 🍷 Nous ne sommes pas du tout du coin mais c’est une tradition annuelle de venir profiter de cette magnifique vue le temps d’un petit week-end du mois d’Aout. Pour vous dire à quel point ça vaut le coup 😍

Amazing view. The hike wasn’t too difficult.

Lovely trekking route located on the northern cliff. You need to climb the stairs from the beach, roughly 10 minutes, after which you’ll be able to start the walk (you can access the gardens from up there too)

Less popular route, but the views are good also

(Translated by Google) Beautiful sea view at almost 180 degrees! The cliffs are impressive. Be careful with children because the path can be slippery and the wind is strong. A beautiful walk that I recommend. (Original) Belle vue sur la mer à presque 180 degrés ! Les falaises sont impressionnantes. Attention aux enfants car le chemin peut être glissant et le vent souffle fort. Une belle balade que je recommande.

(Translated by Google) The trail leads to the top of the cliff, offering spectacular and timeless views. Easily accessible, even for the youngest. (Original) Le sentier mène en haut de la falaise, offrant une vue spectaculaire et hors du temps. Accessible facilement, même pour les plus jeunes.

(Translated by Google) I'm not a hiker, but the path is great! (Original) Bin kein Wanderer, aber der Weg ist spitze!

(Translated by Google) There are no difficulties apart from the climb, which lasts about ten minutes. This section is different from the western part. At each stop, a new landscape is revealed. (Original) Pas de difficulté hormis l’ascension qui dure une dizaine de minutes. Cette partie est différente de celle de l’ouest. A chaque arrêt, on découvre un nouveau paysage.

Porte d’Aval, located along the stunning Alabaster Coast in Étretat, Normandy, France, is a breathtaking natural wonder that leaves visitors in awe of its dramatic beauty. This iconic sea arch, carved meticulously by the relentless forces of wind and waves over centuries, stands as a testament to the raw power of nature. The picturesque seaside town of Étretat is located in the Normandy region of Northwestern France and is known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches, one of which is called L'Aiguille. Étretat is a popular place in Normandy. L’Aiguille Jutting out of the water 70 meters high, l’Aiguille is a remarkable geological formation. Tides Normandy is famous not only for its unbelievable rocks but also for its longest tides. When walking on the beach, be fully aware of the tide times. Étretat Beach Enclosed between the Amont and Aval cliffs, the beach is a stranding port for fishing boats. The sea dissolves the chalk from cliff falls and polishes the flint into rounded pebbles. It is forbidden to collect pebbles from the beach because they offer protection against swell and storms. The towering limestone cliffs, with their striking white hues, contrast beautifully against the deep blue of the English Channel, creating a scene that feels almost otherworldly. As you approach Porte d’Aval, the sheer scale of the arch becomes apparent, with its elegant curve framing the horizon and offering a glimpse of the endless sea beyond. The view from the beach, especially during low tide, is nothing short of spectacular, as the golden sands stretch out beneath the cliffs, inviting you to explore the rugged coastline. Cliffs On both sides of the beach, there is a walking route to the cliffs. The Falaise d’Amont is home to various birds and protected plants that have adapted to the coastal habitat. Walking along the cliffside paths provides an even more immersive experience, as you are treated to panoramic vistas of the coastline, the arch, and the needle-like rock formation known as L’Aiguille, which rises majestically from the water just offshore. The sound of crashing waves echoes against the cliffs, adding a sense of tranquility and grandeur to the atmosphere. For those who venture further up the cliffs, the vantage points offer unparalleled photo opportunities, particularly during sunrise or sunset when the light bathes the landscape in warm, golden tones. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with lush greenery and wildflowers dotting the cliffs, creating a picturesque contrast to the stark white rock. Porte d’Aval is not just a visual marvel; it also holds a sense of timelessness and history. The cliffs have inspired countless artists, including the famous Impressionist painter Claude Monet, who captured their beauty in several of his works. The the beach becomes less crowded after 4 p.m., offering a more tranquil atmosphere to relax and admire the scenery. Standing here, you can’t help but feel a connection to the generations of travelers, artists, and nature enthusiasts who have been drawn to this place. Whether you’re a hiker, a photographer, or simply someone seeking a moment of serenity, Porte d’Aval offers an unforgettable experience that encapsulates the essence of Normandy’s natural splendor. It’s a destination that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left, a true gem of the Alabaster Coast.

Mesmerizing creation of the mother nature. Cliffs on both side of the beach is a magnificent view. Why is Google not letting me upload this post?

A wonderful holiday destination in France. Lovely pebbled beach with two cliffs on either side. A refreshing walk to the top, mesmerizing view. Love options of eateries to choose and eat from. For those who cannot climb up, there is a train that goes to the top. There is also parking available for cars

A majestic view with green hills, steep cliffs, and sounds from waves crashing. Good weather preferred!

Somebody order a warthog?

Stunning location, a great day trip

Incredibly beautiful view! Worth it!

Nice little place to visit on a stop in Etretat. The audio tour is informative and designed to get you into the atmosphere of Lupin's adventures. Loved the mystery and design similar to an escape room!

Cool audio-guided Tour of the house of the writer of the Arsène Lupin books

It's nice little house that has been decorated to offer a brief immersion in the world of Arsène Lupin, without focusing on the writer himself. The guide is funny and offers a little game that follows a story of Lupin. The main issues lie in the cost, which is high for the place itself, and the fact that the audioguide is offered only in French and English. If you are not fluent in any of the two it's better not to enter, as it is not enjoyable.

Would not recommend at all !! Bad experience… women at the entrence did NOT speak a single word englisch, audio guide switched often between english and frech wich was really annoying, storys wherent interresting as well best thing was the beautiful garden

Suspance, there is Arsenio Lupin

Long queue due to covid restrictions. 6 entrance every 10 minutes. Exterior more impressive than interior.

Tatty museum with bizarre audio guide, learnt little about the author or his hero.

A beach with postcard views in both directions — iconic sea arches on each side, dramatic cliffs, and a hint of history in the form of German bunkers. It’s a great spot for a walk, even if the pebbles aren’t foot-friendly. Add in a few cozy seaside cafés and you get a mix of natural beauty, wartime remnants, and relaxed atmosphere that somehow works. Étretat doesn’t try too hard — it doesn’t have to. :)

The beach is very clean and the water is clear because of the pebbles and rocks (absolutely no sand) although quite chilly but pleasant when the sun is out. I highly recommend coming prepared with a swimming suit already on because there are no changing cabins. Also there are 2-3 public toilets around the beach but the queue to access them is very long (especially for the women’s wc) and restaurants won’t let you use theirs. Mid August, it was crowded but you can easily find a spot to lay on your towel.

​The stunning view of the cliffs was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, but the lack of parking for motorhomes made the visit very difficult. We had to park almost 3 km outside the town and walk all the way back. The campsite was completely full, the motorhome service area was also full, and the parking lots either had height restrictions or were already full. ​It's a shame, because otherwise we would have stayed a little longer and spent some money.

It's important do get both directions. The hike is amazing and easy. There is no tax o ticket needed. I truly recommend to stay for the sunset. It's a wonderful experience of natural lights.

A nice place to visit for a few days. You need at least 2 full days if you want to check out the cliffs on both sides of town. If you are lucky and do not have clouds, the sun set is super from the beach.

This place took my breath away. I think after cycling so far, this was near the end for us. Seeing the cliffs, was awesome!

Beautiful beach with clear water. Small and beautifully bookended by nightly clifts. Worth walking up to get a different perspective and light. The only downside is it got busy and there was a constant stream of people going up the clifts to capture selfies. Definitely draws in the Instagram poses. Enjoy it early or late and just take in the beauty. Put down your phones.

Outstanding! There is so much to love about this golf course. Much is down to mother nature and the stunning scenery you are able to drink in along the Normandy cliffs. However there is much more to like…the relatively new clubhouse complex is excellent. The bar and dining area offers views of the 18 green and out to the English Channel. The changing areas are modern and spacious. The food experience is top end restaurant quality at reasonable prices is to be recommended. Booking in the evening is probably essential. Last but not least the pro shop is possibly one of the nicest I have ever visited. A broad array of Etretat embroidered apparel and equally diverse golf accessories too. Something for everybody as there are loads of different colour ways available.

Best golf field ever. Can feel playing golf in the heaven. Tourists are able to encourage your shots near the walk way. But you may need the auto mobile cart for 18 holes.

Magnificent !! This golf court, is absolutely stunning, allowing you to play with an outstanding view on the sea and the world famous hills of Étretat. Staff is lovely, thank you so much for that great experience, we will definitely come back !

Amazing course, breathtaking views of the ocean. I arrived during terrible weather and the lady at the prostore was kind enough to reschedule to a more beautiful day. All staff spoke English. The driving range wasn't great, but the other practice facilities made up for it. There were mainly old folks playing, so play was slow (4:20 for 18 holes). With a course this nice that wasn't a problem. I will definitely try to come back here.

My 70 year old father accidentally flipped his golf cart on its side and hurt his shoulder quite seriously. The staff at Golf d'Etretat were exceptional in calling the local ambulance immediately and helping us with towels, water and whatever else we needed. They translated everything for us to the local EMT's and really made us feel comfortable through this harrowing ordeal. Special thanks to Marie for handling this unfortunate situation so well. We feel so lucky that we were in such a friendly and helpful place when this happened. We are extremely happy with the level of service that was shown to us. The golf course is absolutely beautiful as well and I will be back to finish my round someday. Thank you again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Dormy House last weekend. The weather was stunning and we wanted to go and see the view from the top of the hill near the Golf course. I was taking some pictures and my girlfriend was walking slightly ahead of me. When reaching the top, a car pulled by her, the man driving steer at my girlfriend and said « what are you looking for, this is a private property, you’ve got nothing to do here ». My girlfriend speaks a little bit French but she didn’t quite understood what the man was saying from the other side of a noisy 406. Despite being slightly behind, I did hear the message as well as the inappropriate tone. I introduced myself to the man who didn’t see me coming and expressed my stupefaction since the top of the hill contains a few places opened to the public including a restaurant. I tried to engage with the man who didn’t look at me and pretended to be busy manoeuvring. It seemed obvious to me that the man acted inappropriately because he thought that my girlfriend was by herself, vulnerable enough to accept the humiliation. “Humiliation” because a few meters ahead of us, a white couple who were enjoying the view hadn’t been accosted by this man. We had absolutely no intention to play golf that day. We just wanted to snap a picture or two from the top of the hill and perhaps have some lunch at the restaurant. My girlfriend genuinely felt excluded from this place because of the colour of her skin. Overall a very disappointing experience that tainted our impression of the place.

One of the best courses I've ever played...and I've played Pebble Beach and many courses in Scotland...Jessica is the best!!!

The dirtiest toilettes in Normandy and the museum closed at opening hours … What a shame! The breathtaking views, millions of visitors every year, the outstanding story of young and brave pilots, and … the worst kept toilets, the only ones on theses heights, unless you want to pay 10 euros to enter the Etretat Gardens to use their bathroom… how is it even possible? I am a local tourist guide and for years I am waiting for the situation to change. Who to address??

Beautiful place... But aware a lot of people in season.

Very nice beachfront town with stunning views.

Marvelous, super place

Nice place. But restaurants are too full

Loved. Beautiful little town

Nice village between the cliffs

Perfect view

(Translated by Google) What a beautiful place to see the Alabaster Coast with the chalk cliffs at sunset. Look for wonderful views at Tagli HT. You always see something new and photograph the light, sun, sea and of course the cliffs. One picture more beautiful than the other. The journey is worth it.

Exceptional food. The pizza and pasta are fresh, tasty and very well prepared. The service is one of the best from all we had at Etretat. The friendly atmosphere is real! The price is the best in class. I highly recommend that restaurant.

We arrived at the restaurant just five minutes before it opened at 7 PM and we were lucky to be among the first to get a table. Since the place is closed between 2 and 7 PM, a large crowd gathers right before it opens which creates a pretty long line. The service was great and the food came out surprisingly fast. The pizza was average — not the best we’ve had, but not bad either. But the pesto pasta… absolutely unforgettable. I don’t even like pasta and never order it in everyday life, but this was hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. As for dessert we tried the chocolate fondant — one of my all-time favorite desserts that I’ve had in many places around the world — and this one was honestly the best of all. The white cream it was served in added such a unique and delicious touch. Highly recommend coming early to avoid the wait and definitely try the pesto pasta and fondant!

We came to dinner this restaurant open in 7 pm so we came at 6:30 pm so we waiting about 30 minutes after we came here . It’s very big so people who don’t have a seat but we came second so it’s okay they give us manual prices are okay nice prices not too expensive. We order two pizza and one child menu and one pasta. It’s not bad but it’s so so and pizza was really really bad not really really good but it’s service are nice but they bring us a cup of Parmesan worth. It’s like 2 g of Parmesan cheese and we ask them to bring us more and then bring us a little bit more, it’s okay but it’s too maybe next time bring more Parmesan

Lovely little restaurant, close to the beach and main shopping street. Waiting time during high season lunch time. Arrive just a bit later or earlier and all good. Food was delicious and service with a big smile. Coming back!

What a homely, friendly and inviting dining experience at Le Romain. The pizza was fantastic as was the Romain burger. Staff are so kind and prices were very fair. What a wonderful place for lunch or dinner!

I was lured here for lunch by the excellent reviews on Google. I was somewhat skeptical about a pizza place located in a tourist city like Etretat. What I found was a delightful respite from the tourist traps of Etretat. The pizza was delicious and the outdoor seating was delightful. The service was good and the staff friendly. Overall I think they deserve 5 stars and the reviews that got me there were correct!

Amazing place right next to the main costal area. Beautiful outside dining and tasty food along with great service spoken in perfect English. The menu was broad and reasonably priced. We were brave to taste the snails which were well presented. The fish of the day, pizza and dessert were all good too. Highly recommend during your visit to this beautiful area.

Best quality/price restaurant around. No local fishes. We have tool Salmon and meats. Tiramisu and creme brulee for desert which was surprisingly good! Wines was ok too. Service was ok and price a bit expensive.

Very disappointing experience. The staff was extremely unprofessional — we were charged for three coffees when we only ordered two, and the attitude when we politely pointed it out was shockingly rude. It’s rare to see such an unfriendly and disrespectful attitude toward international tourists, especially in a popular tourist area.

All three pizzas ordered were burnt and when asked for the fully burnt pizza at least for replacement, they said that's how pizza is cooked so not their problem, we can have it or leave it!! First server agreed to replace and asked to pay but manager came and said it's his server mistake, they can't replace!! Eat it or leave it!

Awful capucino....not even reall coffee but very high price. Beautifull view but thats not justification for not beimg able to make basic coffee with milk. To top it off there is no service, so you go an order at the bar. The affligem on tap is a great beer but dont come here for coffee.

The food was very bad, we had a a margarita it wasn’t fresh and was very hard difficult to chew,also the cappuccino it was without milk it was the worst coffee we had ever had, when we complained about the coffee they said they make like this

People are crazy 🤣 Some locals informed me that if i wanted cigarettes i was able to buy from Casino...I went there and the girl in the front desk told me that if i want to buy cigarettes i needed to order drinks... 🎪 🤣

The middle aged French guy waiter should be fired immediately. He was chasing away patrons.

It seems a beautiful romanesc church. Unfortunately, today, it looked like a Christo's work of art with scaffoldings being mounted. I wasn't able to enter.

Beautiful church, with the way graves tended to immaculately.

Good place to view the sights

Subblime

Great memorial place!

Beautiful Roman church

(Translated by Google) This Romanesque church is impressive in its simplicity and simplicity. With a very high vault, the church is unimaginably large from the outside.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful castle, easy to access on foot or by car. Guide who is also the owner, he is knowledgeable about the collection that the places contain as well as the history. He is passionate and transmits his passion to us. Very interesting (Original) Très beau château, facile d’accès À pied ou en voiture. Guide qui est aussi le propriétaire, il est Incollable sur la collection que contient les lieux ainsi que l’histoire. Il est passionné et nous transmet sa passion. Très intéressant

(Translated by Google) Very expensive for the few to visit, only one corridor and four rooms are accessible to the public. In the photos the castle looks very large, although it looks more like a house, and the “garden” is almost non-existent. The owners are passionate and invested. The objects present in the “castle” are collectibles purchased by the owner which are not necessarily linked to each other but are nice to see all the same. (Original) Très cher pour le peu à visiter, seul un couloir et quatre pièces sont accessibles au public. Sur les photos le château paraît très grands, alors que ça ressemble plus à une maison, et le « jardin » est quasi inexistant. Les propriétaires sont passionnés et sont investis. Les objets présents dans le « château » sont des objets de collection achetés par le propriétaire qui n’ont pas forcément de lien entre eux mais sont sympathiques à voir quand même.

(Translated by Google) Very disappointed! In the photos, it really looks like a castle but when you are there it is a mansion with 2 towers. You only visit the hallway and 4 rooms, the ground floor. It is + a small collection of old objects and paintings of known people.. It was heritage day: 2 euros reduction, therefore 7 euros for those over 12 years old.. It is noted 1 euro visit of the garden that you don't even have the right to do! Due to possible passage of animals (Original) Très déçus ! Sur les photos, on dirait vraiment un château mais quand vous y êtes c'est une maison de maître avec 2 tours. Vous ne visitez que le couloir et 4 pièces, le rez de chaussée. C'est + une petite collection d'objets anciens et de tableaux de personnages connus.. C'était la journée du patrimoine : 2 euros de réduction, donc 7 euros pour les + de 12 ans.. Il est noté 1 euro visite du jardin que vous n'avez même pas le droit de faire! Pour cause de possible passage d'animaux

if the weather is good i would suggest a 2 hours stop to walk-hike. from the left side there is a golf course. the cliffs are quite impressive at some points.

Wonderful place, it can be busy in the summer. Better to go there early in the morning. Sometimes difficult to find a place to park your car. It's better to go there from south part and pass between the farms and go down to the city from north. There are some touristic tours with boats possible. If you are walking, it's good to wear comfortable shoes. There are no bars or restaurants or shops there upstairs. Good to have water with you.

Stunning views. Not to difficult to walk up but wear good shoes cause the paths are uneven and rugged. I went up the cliff around an hour before sunset. It was magnificent!

The most beautiful place I have ever seen, I highly recommend this place, it is definitely worth seeing, it will take you about 20-30 minutes to climb to the top, from where you can see amazing views.

An amazing place worth visiting! Both the town and the cliffs are very beautiful. The climb to the cliff is not too difficult and definitely worth doing; the view is stunning. Be aware that it gets very crowded in the summer, so it’s a good idea to park outside the town and walk in. Highly recommended for a memorable experience!

Best place to chill with friends family for outing and surfing too good view love yhe cliffs and also you can enjoy kayak it was amazing experience just make sure when its rains wear good shoes or else it slips alot whole getting down from The mountains there are alot of restaurants so dont worry about the food. Should go for sunset and sunrise best place to have a day picnic with family friends.

Beautiful although extremely crowded

Really really lovely beach :) beautiful views. If youre someone with walking impairments, its a bit of a slippy walk up to the lookout point straight from the beach. There is an easier route further up the path as you come in but still tread with caution :)

Large beautiful beach 😍 If you turn right you can walk until Étretat during low tides

You need to hike above the cliff from Etretat beach for around 30-40 min to reach the location. The beach is full of rocks and it's bit hard to swim and walk around. The beach is less crowded.

Pebble beach with few people and beautiful view of the cliffs. On the far right of the beach you find some “cave” you can climb into. We parked our car at the free Parking Plage Valleuse d'Antifer. It is a 30-minute walk to the beach (you pass some chilly forest) and the foot of the cliffs. By bike it is only 10 minutes - you can safely leave your bike there.

Incredible beach 😍 also very reserved. Some locals even do naturism. There are great hikes around it. Maybe you could find some cruising in the woods ;)

Great place to start your Étretat hike with less tourists coming from this side. The views are spectacular!

One of the best beach I visited. Nice view, best place to enjoy sunset. Less crowded because this beach is accessible by foot which is about 2km from the parking place. But worth visiting.

Follow the cliff till the end and on the left side will be decent to the cave. Be aware of the rocky sharp descent and ascent on the way to the cliff.

Spectacular view of rock formations across the coast. This would take some time to find a parking in the area.

🔘 This is L’Œil du Panda. 📍 A cliff in Étretat, Normandy. 🌀 A natural formation standing 70 meters tall. ⚪ Its shape is flawless — as if carved by hand. 🌊 Beyond it — only the sea, the wind, and silence. 🖤 An eye gazing at the ocean. And you — right in its pupil.

Wonderful, i feel like im on the edge of the world. Nice little hike.

beautiful cliffs, worth it

Amazing view on cliffs, beaches and arcs around. Not crowded at all. The small cave inside the cliff is a mandatory spot to visit for instagrammers

Small pretty cave that can offer magnificent sunset views :)

Etretat is famous for good reason. The cliffs, especially the ones on the west side, are amazing. The town itself is just full of restaurants and souvenir shops. Not that interesting. But this promenade here is worth your while. You will walk on it anyways, since it's between both sides of the cliffs. Right at the stone beach. It boasts great views of both sided of the cliffs. There are bathroom facilities as well (both free and with fee). War memorials and what's left of the WWII bunkers with interesting info plates too. It's really a place worth checking out. There's is definitely something to see and do. Even though it's a pretty short promenade.

Amazing vistas with just a short hike in Normandy.

A promenade along the beach with clear blue water. Must be a nice place in summer.

Beautiful rock beach. Easy to see why Claude Monet came here to holiday & paint

Very nice seafront and a quaint village. Has a nice Motorhome Aire and a Municipal Campsite next door. Definitely recommend.

You really need to visit Etretat. It was really stunning. Great views. Really. I loved it. You need to visit Etretat

Touristic place, really busy and pretty expensive to park and difficult to reach.

(Translated by Google) A unique landscape😀 (Original) Un paysage unique😀

(Translated by Google) Amazing place, will definitely come back (Original) Удивительное место, вернусь обязательно

(Translated by Google) Very nice view (Original) Très belle vue

(Translated by Google) Great. Greetings from Poland 😀 (Original) Super. Pozdrawiam from Poland 😀

The natural formation is in itself spectacular but it's the color of the ocean around it, the color of the cliffs, the sound of the ocean, the waves, the cries of the seagulls, the tall grass growing on the hills bending to the wind, the wild flowers, creating that picturesque landscape, all coming together for an unforgettable experience and ambience. When it's cloudy, the colors are so special somehow. The walk up to either side to the see the views is not bad at all, like a ten minute climb. Enjoy your experience! Take a picnic up to the top of the hill to enjoy the serenity longer!

A piece of heaven. Loved the place long time back when I went there for work and fall in love with it. A wonderful place with an amazing view. This time spent a full day and weather was exactly what you expected to have the best experience. A must see place in west of France

What more can you say? Stunning natural rock formations, a postcard-worthy arch, crashing waves, and... scattered German concrete bunkers. It’s a mix of dramatic cliffs, windswept plains, and wartime history that somehow works. The views are breathtaking from both above and below — and when the wind picks up, walking becomes a full-body sport. A place that impresses without even trying. :)

Absolute must see in the Normandy, breathtaking views and a unique feeling. Very crowdy, don’t try to park in the city , you will fail :) better to stay a kilometer or so before the coast and take a walk instead. Or go there early in the morning, then you will be able to find a parking spot near the edge. Otherwise be prepared paying 25euros / day to locals offering parking spaces in their gardens :) Lot of restaurants and shops in the area, but most important are views from the cliffs. There’s also a small „train” which takes you to the cliff on the right (that one with church on the top) .

The arch and scenary is, like in so many places around the coast of Normandy, incredible. Walking to the top is worth it if you want to enjoy the view. A few things to note: Walking to the top takes a while and may be exhausting. Given the step stairs, it is impossible for people having problems with walking or stairs. Though some basic railing exists, especially children should be very careful. Especially around summer the area is a tourist hot spot and therefore full of people. This will certainly slow you down too.

This place is amazing! If you are into hiking, I'll recommend to you to park your car outside the downtown. Go to parking area so called "my parking etretat" and then walk few minutes to small street called "Petit Valaine". At the beginning it's lil bit climby and then you will find big field on your left, and golf course area on your right. Just walk following the golf shape of the golf course until you'll find the magnificent view. This path is unofficial walk, but I saw some local going through this path and also this path is MUCH better because there is no STEEP stairs (I noticed the official path has steep stairs). So with this path, you will just go downhill instead of uphills. Worth to try.

It is a very inspiring place, even Monet created 90 paintings on Etretat as subject , amazing place that make me spend two week to paint it in impasto style

I wish my internet connection would have been active at the time when we bought the tickets for this. Now that we're back after realizing the level of scam it is we're in the office of tourism and unfortunately they're fully aware of the constant complaints and negative reviews of this business. Please beware and stay away. Anything that you want to see in this city is much more accessible by foot and costs a heck of a lot less. The employees are unfriendly unhelpful and for lack of a better word to scammy. Before you book with them look at all of the previous reviews and make your own decision but please.

If you do not want to walk all the way to the jardin d etretat - this train will be a life saver. although i did see some people being dropped off by car at the jardin - i do not think they were allowed. The train should leave and pick up every 30-40 min - but we waited a bit longer for it to arrive so not the most scheduled train. Maybe make sure to get a phone number to which you can call them - would have been easier for us to know when they would arrive.

I looooove the train! The guys selling me the tickets and the person driving the train are both very warm and amicable. Someone earlier left a review that the train went up at breakneck speed. It’s not true in the first part. Just before we reach the top, there was a quicker part but I know it was necessary because the last part is quite a steep ascend. Highly recommend this - just think of it as transport to go up :)

A theft. No timetables available, ask the driver how long there is between trains and they say 30 minutes. We've been waiting for 1.5 hours and no one is coming. I strongly advise against it.

Left my back in that train.. Worst ride. For 9 euro ticket we came back on foot because no understandable time of return and not possible to return in one piece. Writing this from my hotel room with strong back pain.

Amazing view from there, church was under construction at the moment we were there

Overpriced and Expensive. 8euro for adults and 5euro for kids. No commentary provided and the driver drove really fast up and down the hill.

Its a very nice place, I guess it is worth visiting it to buy some souvenirs and get to know a little more of the city and its history. Isn´t to big and can be crowded sometimes. It is just around all the historic sites and restaurants. There are pleny of options of things you can buy, to all ages. For postcards and keychains, it is the best place.

Cosy market in the heart of Étretat selling souvenirs, local hand made products, alcohol beverages, and more. There aren't many shops here as it is a small market, but still worth an experience walking through.

The outside of the building is charming and reminds visitors of a bygone era, so bygone in fact that the interior is littered with cheap souveniers and other souvenirs that do not fit well in this market.

You can buy souvenirs, jewelery, hats, liquor, etc from here but prices are too high. EDIT: it is just a scam to be honest. I bought an apple juice for 7 euro!!! specifically asking for alcohol free. Came home to find out that it was already fermented and not drinkable 😑

Excellent service, menus in common European languages and good food, very pretty (and busy) town

Beautiful building reminding a Viking hallroom, lots of cute postcards (also stamps) and suvenir shopping, some clothing and jewelry. Right in the tiny city centre

You can buy all kind of souvenirs connected with Etretat and Normandy.

Quirky little animal farm where you can walk through the animal pens. Well worth a visit to pass half a day, great for small children. Would recommend going.

(Translated by Google) Very good experience at the cliff farm! We did "farmer for a day" where we took care of the animals with David, it was great and perfect for adults too! Thank you very much for your welcome!! (Original) Très bonne expérience à la ferme des falaises!

(Translated by Google) The perfect place to spend a wonderful day with the family! We've been coming for several years, and the kids love it! Warm welcome and very pleasant setting.

(Translated by Google) Perfect, just passing through for our summer vacation. Well-maintained farm, lots of animals to see. Pony rides, pedal go-karting, inflatables, feeding activities. My daughter loved it. Very affordable price. If you're in the area with children, go for it; they'll love it. (Original) Parfait , de passage pour nos vacances d'été ferme bien entretenue , nombreux animaux visible tour de poney , karting à pedale , jeux gonflable , animation nourrissage ma fille a adoré tarif très abordable si vous etes dans le coin avec des enfants , foncez , ils vont adorer

(Translated by Google) A great welcome. The lady at reception is super nice, a very complete play area for children, being able to walk with the animals I think that's great. A bell rings and we can feed the animals, in short we had a very nice afternoon. I recommend!! (Original) Une accueil génial. La dame a l’accueil est super gentille , un espace de jeux pour les enfants très complet, pouvoir ce balader avec les animaux je trouve ça génial.
