Etretat, "the first coast of France", one of the top ten most beautiful towns

Even the picky and sharp-tongued French natives love Etretat because it is a romantic sanctuary on the Normandy coast, known as the "First Coast of France". The coast stretches for several kilometers, and the side facing the sea is surrounded by sea water. The chalk cliffs cut into straight lines by the sea breeze are like a huge white wall, with several "arches" and "overpasses" naturally carved out by the magic of nature, which are magnificent. Famous French writers and painters such as Hugo, Maupassant, Monet, Baudelaire and others have lived here to find inspiration for their creations. French composers Jacques Offenbach and Maupassant once organized their friends to gather in Etretat. Famous French writers and painters such as Hugo, Monet and Baudelaire once lived here to find inspiration for their creations. The celebrity effect has made this place a famous seaside resort since the 19th century. Étretat plays an important role in Arsène Ropin's 1909 novel The Hollow Needle, written by Maurice Leblanc, a French writer who lived here. It also appeared in the 2014 film "Lucy" directed by French national treasure director Luc Besson. Two of the three famous arches can be seen from the town, the Avar Gate and the Amun Gate, while the third and largest one, Falaise-Manipor, cannot be seen from the town. arrive. #hotsummergoodplaces #overseastravel #europe #europetravel #europetown #europetravel #frenchtravel #frenchtown #goodplacesinfrance #frenchtravel #seaview #cliff
