Recommendations For Next Time:
I wanted to check out Etretat, which is about 45 min away, but we ran out of time. Next time I want to make it a point to explore these chalky cliffs and different walking trails above the beach. These cliffs and views have been painted in many Impressionists paintings and next time I want to see it for myself!
