    GR21 (Normandy Cliffs)

    France · Normandy
    Hilly

    A 150km coastal trail along the dramatic chalk cliffs of Normandy from Le Havre to Le Tréport, passing the famous natural arches at Étretat. The route follows the Alabaster Coast with its towering white cliffs, pebble beaches, and fishing villages nestled in narrow valleys called valleuses. Expect regular steep descents to beach level and climbs back to the clifftops. The trail passes through Fécamp and Dieppe with their harbours and seafood restaurants. Walkable year-round, though winter brings shorter days and stronger winds off the Channel.
