Etretat Cliffs, Chalk cliffs in Normandy, France
The limestone formations of Étretat extend along the coast with white cliffs reaching heights of 90 meters above the sea level.
The natural structures of Étretat served as subjects for numerous paintings by artists including Claude Monet during the 19th century.
