"North of Le Havre on the D940. The city is famous for being a natural harbour and the Aiguille de Belval. Marcasite and, rarely, pyrite nodules in the pebbles on the beach. To the north on the D11 one reaches the Vaucottes beach with its chalk cliffs." [Belot, 1978, p. 182]
A lot of the flint/chert pebbles on the beach have cavities, most of them with chalcedony in it, but some contain druzy quartz.
Étretat (French pronunciation: [etʁəta]) is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Normandy region of Northwestern France. It is a tourist and farming town situated about 32 km (ca. 20 mi) northeast of Le Havre, at the junction of the D 940, D 11 and D 139 roads. It is located on the coast of the Pays de Caux area.
Étretat is best known for its chalk cliffs, including three natural arches and a pointed formation called L'Aiguille or the Needle, which rises 70 metres (ca. 230 ft) above the sea. The Étretat Chalk Complex, as it is known, consists of a complex stratigraphy of Turonian and Coniacian chalks. Some of the cliffs are as high as 90 metres (ca. 295 ft).
These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Charles Daubigny, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. They were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc. They also feature in the 2014 film Lucy, directed by Luc Besson.
Two of the three famous arches are visible from the town, the Porte d'Aval, and the Porte d'Amont. The Manneporte is the third and the biggest one, and cannot be seen from the town.
The GR 21 long-distance hiking path (Le Havre to Le Tréport) passes through the town.
Famous Cretaceous chalk cliffs with flint rich beach.
