People come to Normandy for the sea and return with a collection of small memories: white cliffs above the Channel, the taste of oysters, wind along a promenade and quiet resort streets. It is a welcome change from the city, with room to look further than the next boulevard.
The route brings together three distinct places: Étretat's striking coastline, Trouville's working seaside character and Deauville's understated elegance. Travel between them in a comfortable private car, choosing a guide or a more independent format. We discuss the stops with you before the journey.
This journey has three distinct moods. Étretat brings white cliffs, natural arches and the Channel stretching to the horizon. At Les Jardins d’Étretat, the sea becomes the backdrop to sculptures and imaginative green shapes. It is a place to put your phone away, take it all in, then reach for one more photograph.
Trouville welcomes you with sea air and the stalls of its fish market: choose seafood, try something new and watch life in this old seaside resort. Deauville changes the scene with half-timbered façades, elegant villas and the celebrated boardwalk, echoing its cinema connections. Lunch with a view and tastings can be arranged around your preferences.
Your day, in a few moments
- 01
Étretat's white cliffs and arches
The curve of the coastline, water below the cliffs and familiar natural arches reward a pause. There are wide views and smaller details worth photographing, depending on where you choose to look.
- 02
Gardens and a meal with a view
At Les Jardins d’Étretat, sculpted greenery and art meet the sea horizon. We can discuss a garden visit and a restaurant with a view; admission and table reservations are arranged in advance.
- 03
Trouville's fish market
Browse the stalls and choose the seafood that appeals to you. Oysters and a glass of white wine can become part of your visit, rather than a compulsory tasting for every guest.
- 04
A walk through Deauville
The wooden boardwalk, beach cabins and handsome villas bring a different mood. Take a walk through the resort and its centre, with stops for photographs along the way.
