Definitely worth checking out. The walk up the cliffs is invigorating and the view on the Atlantic and the little town of Etretat down below is beautiful.

The stairs leading up on the cliff are taking not more than 10 min to go up, but better to be prepared. On the top, the great seascape is awaiting you. Get your comfy shoes on, take a windbreaker jacket (because it may be windy even in summer), it will be a long walk! The path leads you all along the shore, but be careful going down, the railing may be shaky. It is a perfect place to think and enjoy a small company since in the evening hours there is almost no one around.

This stunning Gothic structure is considered by some to be the town's most important architectural landmark.
Well worth a visit if you are in the city of Rouen, free entry Beautiful historic cathedral with plenty of information in other languages aside from French. The tomb of Richard the lionheart is inside, and statue of Joan of arc Tour guides can be found around the cathedral who can be very informative

This bustling street from the cathedral down to the market is a lovely one to walk on because of all the things to see along the way. Of course the clock tower is the main attraction especially when the sun light catches it and it glistens. There are plenty of half timbered buidings painted in various colours to see. The street does get busy especially near the clock.

The Église St Joseph stands proud in the centre of reconstructed Le Havre. The steeple rises like a lighthouse visible from land and sea. I would highly recommend visiting the interior particularly later in the day as the sun descends in the sky and light plays on the stained glass and colors the airy concrete structure.

The Palais Benedictine, an architectural masterpiece of gothic and Renaissance inspirations, proposes guided tours all year long on Saturday, Sunday, holidays (except May 1st, December 25th and January 1st), and every day during school holidays at 3pm. Discover the museum, the one and only Benedictine distillery in the world and the cellars. Eventually, enjoy the contemporary art exhibition, before heading to the Winter Garden where is offered a tasting of one of the three Benedictine Expressions*. Alcohol abuse is dangerous for health. Consume with moderation
The palace was really interesting, lots of beautiful things to see. We did the distillery tour and Samantha was brilliant - interesting, funny and very friendly. And you got to taste it at the end! A brilliant way to fill a few hours.

This is a really lovely Cathedral with amazing ironwork and a new organ all in a setting with misericords and beautiful stonework. Considering how much damage it took in WW2 it is a must see, and right next door to a gem of a museum and art gallery housed in the Bishop's Palace with a car park right behind both . Well worth a visit.

We visited these gardens in Ocober, and I was was not sure if we were going to be able experience the beauty of the gardens that I had read about. Despite the time of year, there were many beautiful flowers. Monet designed the-gardent to be beautiful year round. There were only a few waterlilies in bloom, but the flowers surrounding the pond provided a perfect "frame" for my many photos. I would like to return each season to experience this artists living picture!

We spent the afternoon in Dieppe on a beautiful, hot summer day. Walking along the beach, it was so hard to imagine the terrible devastation that happened here on Aug 19, 1942. We were especially moved by the memorial along the beach to the Calgary soldiers who were stuck in tanks on the beach that fateful day. It was good to see the memorials to all the different regiments from across Canada who took part in the raid. We then walked to the Canadian memorial and sat in the shade, taking some time to reflect on the sacrifice made on the beautiful beach that day. We will remember. We would also recommend visiting the nearby Canadian war cemetery - it was also very moving and a lovely spot next to farmers' fields.
