Etretat is a little town in the coast of Normandy, one hour drive away from Rouen (where my pastry school is based).
The celebrity of Etretat comes from the massive limestone cliffs that dramatically dive into the rough normandy sea.
Impresssive nature show off :p
Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet and other artists were inspired by these magnificent frames.
Here are a parallel between my pictures taken in a nice spring day in 2014 with my friends Nadia and Florence and some paintings from the 19th century:

One of the postal cards images of Etretat. For me it looks like a giant's leg sitting on the sea:
