Sights and Attractions
The cliffs of Étretat truly are a must-see! The Aiguille d’Étretat (the Needle), a striking natural rock formation rising 70 metres above the sea, is especially impressive. But there’s much more to discover in the area, including:
The Étretat Market Hall
This covered market is a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Here you’ll find fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, and especially a wonderful selection of fish and seafood. It’s a feast for the senses!
Manoir de Salamandre
This medieval building dates from the 14th century. Originally standing in Lisieux, it was carefully dismantled in 1899 and rebuilt in Étretat in 1912. Today, it serves as a hotel and restaurant.
The L’Oiseau Blanc Monument and Museum
In 1927, an attempt was made to fly non-stop from Paris to New York. Tragically, the aircraft, L’Oiseau Blanc, and its crew disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean and were last seen in Étretat. A monument and museum in the town commemorate this daring adventure. Normandy also offers other remarkable sites, such as the D-Day beaches of Omaha and Utah, Mont Saint-Michel, and the Bayeux Tapestry. There’s plenty to explore!
