Clifftop drama and sea views beside Normandy's most famous chalk arches.
Étretat is small but special: characterful sea-view and clifftop hotels, including a romantic clifftop manor, set beside the cliffs that inspired Monet and Maupassant.
Stay near the seafront and the cliffs for the views and the cliff walks, or just back in the village centre.
Summer weekends are busy and rooms are few — book early. Spring and autumn give moody skies and calmer trails.
Heading to the festival too? See where to stay for the Armada.
