One of the most picturesque places in France with white cliffs, arches, and a needle rock that inspired artists and writers.
Description:
This small seaside town on the Alabaster Coast became popular in the 19th century due to its unique rock formations. The white chalk cliffs, formed millions of years ago, rise above the Atlantic coast, creating natural arches and a needle rock that have become symbols of the region. The town retains its Belle Époque charm, with a wooden market, villas, and gardens. Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet, and Maurice Leblanc all visited here. Today, it attracts tourists, artists, and nature lovers.
Facts:
The cliffs were painted by Monet and Courbet. Maurice Leblanc placed Arsène Lupin in a local villa. Cliffs reach up to 84 meters high
Significance:
Global and national value. Part of the Grand Site de France programme.
