Etretat France Last Updated: 08/01/2026 |
| Etretat is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region of Northwestern France. It is a tourist and farming town. Its population was 1,167 in 2022. It is best known for its cliffs, including three natural arches and the pointed needle. | |
| Nature has carved unusual shapes out of the white cliffs in Etretat, and as a result, this picturesque spot attracted many Impressionist painters, who sought to capture the cliffs on canvas. The pretty seaside town of Etretat is also the setting for Maurice Leblanc’s popular French children’s book about Arsène Lupin, the gentleman burglar. Two further reasons to visit Etretat are its fantastic 18-hole golf course on one cliff, and the magical gardens on the other, both of which afford stunning views of the cliffs and town. | |
