Formerly a modest fishing village, Étretat became a renowned seaside resort in the 19th century. The small town lies in the north of France, on the Alabaster Coast (Côte d'Albâtre), part of the Pays de Caux, in the Seine-Maritime department (76), in Normandy.
Its white chalk cliffs and grey pebble beach have made it a favourite of international travellers, and generations of painters and photographers built its fame.
