Etretat is a world-renowned site of natural beauty. The falaises, the white cliffs, cast a particular and soft light on everything. It was the extraordinary light of Etretat that draw the early impressionist painters, Monet in the lead, to live here and paint. His images of Etretat are to be found now in modern art museums all around the world. This corner of France is also famous for his history. William the Conqueror sailed from Fécamp, just 15km away, to conquer England. His cathedral still stands and is still in use. Le Havre, the great port of the Seine is 25km away. It is a UNESCO protected site for its stunning modern architecture. Rouen, once France’s second city, is just an hour away. It houses what some say is the best collection of late medieval stained glass in its two magnificent cathedrals. And the Norman countryside is all around us. It is hard to believe that such beauty is nestled in a corner just a couple hours from Paris or Brussels. Close to Honfleur, Deauville.
