Fécamp walks

Hike from Fécamp to Etretat and its cliffs. This hike follows theGR®21 trail. It is an easy hike overall, mostly flat and crossing numerous fields, so the trail is not always clearly marked, but you just need to keep your bearings and follow the red and white markings. However, there is a significant elevation gain due to the "valleuses", natural access points to the sea in this cliff-lined landscape.

The destination of this hike is Cap Fagnet, at the top of the cliffs overlooking Fécamp, where you can enjoy a breathtaking view. This site can be reached via a country route that includes paved sections, as described here. It can also be reached via a very short circular route (1 km), also described as a variant. (Please note) Due to rockfalls, access to the viewpoint is prohibited (see message posted on 08/05/2023).

The proposed route will introduce you to the cultures of the Pays de Caux and the Terres de la Falaise from the village of Yport (listed site). After a route inland, return to Yport not far from the cliffs from the Vattetot valley via theGR® 21.

The route mainly consists of walking on tarmac, with a short section in the Bois des Loges. From the car park at the start, there is a view of the Château de Maniquerville (now a hotel). At the beginning of the route, visit the small but charming Église Saint-Martin de Maniquerville. In Gerville, the Church of Saint-Michel is closed and cannot be visited. The Church of Notre-Dame in Les Loges is also worth a visit, as is the old "Les Loges/Vaucottes-sur-Mer" railway station, which houses old carriages and locomotives.

Around Saint-Pierre-en Port, Sassetot-le-Mauconduit, Les Grandes Dalles via theGR®21and its variants.

Route by the sea and countryside. Best done in good weather for the views on theGR®.

A walk along the famous cliffs of Étretat. Magnificent views of the Aiguille, the village of Étretat and the Notre-Dame de la Garde chapel.

Superb view of the Aiguille d'Étretat, the golf course and the town.

Walk to see the magnificent alabaster coast of Etretat. The Upstream and Downstream gates, the famous hollow needle where Arsène Lupin is said to have hidden his treasure, the Manneporte. Magnificent views of the cliffs and superb beaches. The walk skirts the Etretat cliffside golf course and the protected nature reserve.

Climb the cliffs, enjoy the Fréfossé Château, go on a pebble beach away from onlookers, discover the small valleys of the Pays de Caux... This is on the menu of this short hike.

Étretat is a seaside resort and tourist town located along the English Channel, on the Alabaster Coast, near the Seine estuary. It is known for its cliffs and famous three arches.

A short hike, breathtakingly beautiful and surprising for its natural beauty and structures. This route is accessible to all with good footwear and offers a spectacle that is unique in the world! Be careful not to go too close to the edge of the cliffs: fatal accidents occur every year due to carelessness. There are no special safety measures in place.

This circular starting from Cany-Barville invites you to enjoy a nature getaway between land and water. The route leads to Lac de Caniel, a haven of calm and greenery, before returning to the village. An accessible hike, ideal for discovering the landscapes of the Pays de Caux and enjoying a moment of relaxation in the open air.

Hiking in the Pays de Caux countryside, with a stop by the sea and the opportunity to swim in season.

A charming route between the Durdent valley, the cliffs and Veulettes beach.

An 8-shaped circuit that allows you to choose all or part of the route. The first part leads along the Durdent river and the second part follows the Basses Eaux circuit, which is both leisurely and fun and can be enjoyed with young children.

It is said that the farmers of the Quartier du Carreau used to sell their chickens and rabbits in the village centre. On their way back, they were robbed in the woods on the hillside, now known as the "Briganderie".

This route consists mainly of paths along the edge of woods that wind their way past a few isolated houses. The Saint-Arnoult forest is less well known than its neighbour, the Trait-Maulévrier forest, but is well worth a visit.

Starting from La Frénaye, the hike takes walkers on a journey of discovery through a doubly rich heritage: that of the former textile industry in the Pays de Caux and that of the even older Roman presence that left its mark on the area. Between rolling landscapes, archaeological remains and ancient sites linked to the textile industry, the route offers a unique immersion, where nature and heritage meet. Ideal for history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

A lovely walk in the Saint-Arnoult forest, a little-known forest with many paths. It suffers from its proximity to the much larger Trait-Maulévrier forest, but it is worth getting to know with its hamlets and houses that are a little remote but full of charm
