A hidden spot in Normandy - just a bit north of Honfleur - Etretat - the dramtic rocky coastline, BUT BUT

Yes, the cliffs of Etretat have attracted painters and tourists for over 100 years,. It's ( but only located in France) a mirror of the English White Cliff s of Dover.

But the real surprise here is something most painters and tourists never see but should. the 'WOW' of Les Jardins d'Etretat high above the cliffs. The blend of landscape art and art sculptures makes the gardens a delight for both garden lovers and art lovers and of course, the dramatic natural landscape only adds to the drama. 

The best time to visit? - early evening as the lights of the village below comes on whilst at the same time the sea and gardens are bathed in a soft evening light.
