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.

A hike through the Cauchoise countryside, following theGR®21from Saint-Pierre-en-Port to Les Petites Dalles.

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.

A circular route around Riville and Valmont following theGR®21B.

A Beuzeville-la-Grenier anthology, ‘Une minute d’arrêt’, recounts the town’s history over the past 150 years; for example, it lists the occupations of the people of Beuzeville, where all residents who did not declare a profession were considered weavers, as there was a loom in almost every house.

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