Mountains of Ètretat, France

Ètretat

Étretat is a collective in the Seine-Oceanic office in the Haute-Normandie district in north-western France. It is a traveler and cultivating town arranged around 32 km (20 mi) northeast of Le Havre, at the intersection of the D 940, D 11 and D 139 streets. It's found on the shoreline of the Pays de Caux range.

The Cliffs

Étretat is best known for its bluffs, including three regular curves and the pointed "needle". These bluffs and the related resort shoreline pulled in craftsmen including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and were offered noticeably in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel The Empty Needle by Maurice Leblanc.

Two of the three celebrated curves are seen from the town, the Porte d'aval, and the Porte d'amont. The Manneporte is the third and the greatest one, and can't be seen from the town.

The GR 21 long-separation trekking way (Le Havre to Le Tréport) passes through the town.

The White Bird

Étretat is known for being the last place in France from which the 1927 biplane The White Winged creature (L'oiseau Blanc) was seen. French WWI war legends Charles Nungesser and François Coli were endeavoring to make the first non-prevent flight from Paris to New York, yet after the plane's 8 May 1927 takeoff, it vanished some place over the Atlantic. It is viewed as one of the incredible unexplained riddles of flight. A landmark to the flight was secured in Étretat, yet demolished amid World War II, amid German occupation. Another and taller landmark was developed in 1963, alongside a close-by museum.
