Facing the vast blue expanse of the English Channel, the cliffs of Étretat raise their arches and spires like a mineral cathedral sculpted by time. For millennia, the sea has carved a masterpiece that no architect could have imagined: white chalk cliffs, pierced by Gothic gateways and punctuated by natural columns that interact with the ever-changing light over Normandy's sky in France.

This landscape, which inspired Monet, Courbet and Maupassant and served as the backdrop for the mysteries of Arsène Lupin, embodies the union of fragility and power. But beyond its beauty, Étretat reveals a living heritage, where nature itself becomes a builder. Each layer of chalk preserves the memory of vanished oceans, teeming with ammonites and corals, reminding us that heritage is not limited to monuments erected by humankind, but also encompasses the silent works of the Earth.
