What to expect

Etretat

4 hours

Explore this picturesque Norman town on the Alabaster Coast.
Nature has carved unusual shapes out of the white cliffs in Etretat, and as a result, this town attracted many Impressionist painters, who sought to capture the cliffs on canvas. The pretty seaside town of Etretat is also the setting for Maurice Leblanc’s popular French children’s book about Arsène Lupin, the gentleman burglar.
Jardins d'Etretat

2 hours

In 1905, Madame Thébault decided to create a garden at the top of the Amont cliff that would reflect Monet's work with avant-garde elements mixed with a touch of impressionism.
In 2017, Alexandre Grivko, famous landscape architect fascinated by this history, gave Les Jardins d'Étretat their nobility. Plant sculptures evoke the nature of the Normandy coast, while more than a hundred thousand plants provide the gardens their beauty throughout the year. The goal was to bring together historical and artistic elements of the old garden and contemporary architectural ideas. A unique collection of modern art is displayed in Les Jardins d'Étretat, allowing visitors to contemplate nature and the surrounding world through the prism of art.
Honfleur

2 hours

Walking tour of the medieval town of Honfleur, its picturesque streets and its old port lined with colourful cafes and restaurants. Walk around the old port, discover Sainte Catherine Church, very unusual in that it is built entirely of wood and was made by shipwrights who incorporated many nautical decorative details, including a ceiling that resembled the hull of a ship. The ever-changing light in Honfleur inspired the most famous impressionist painters.
