Etretat

Normandy is on the other side of the English Channel so it is not surprising that in Normandy there are also white cliffs, just like in Dover, England.  The French version is in Etretat and are quite spectacular.  Claude Monet thought so too because there are many paintings by Monet featuring the arched whited cliffs of Etretat.
