Aerial view of white chalk cliffs along a coastline with a blue ocean, featuring distinctive rock formations and a small beach area. In the background, a town is visible.

Étretat is best known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches and a pointed formation called L'Aiguille or the Needle.

From bottom to top, the arches visible here are the Manneporte, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont (the smalest one, after the city).
