Etretat is a town in Normandy, France.
Fabulously situated in a bay between cliffs. It reminds me a lot of Sopot. It has a beautiful pebbly beach and paths where you can walk freely along the rocky peaks. At the top of the hill, on the right, there is a tiny church that looks Gothic or even Romanesque. You can enter the beach gently or down steps cut into the rock and usually without handrails. At the bottom you can find caves carved out by the rough waves. Like secret passages in books about castles on the rocks.
I expected an idyll, but I got mountain climbing and it was worth it. The views are breathtaking. Of course, I wouldn't be myself if I didn't take photos from the precipice. I walked there on a foot-wide path. Only when I had overcome it for the 5th time did I realize that losing my balance in such a position would result in a spectacular end. But the photos and impressions are priceless.
There is a golf course right next to the cliff, which is incredibly impressive. The town itself is quiet and picturesque. The food is fresh and delicious. It tastes like the sea. It's the most wonderful place to walk. In the sun, the water has an amazing color thanks to the rocky shores. After all these years, I still remember that shade and the smell of salty air.
