  ETRETAT - LoveToKnow Article on ETRETAT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The small stream traversing the valley, at the extremity of which Etretat lies, flows underground for some distance but rises to the surface on the beach.
Fishing is carried on, though there is no port and the fishermen haul their boats up the beach; the old hulks (caloges) serve as sheds and even as dwellings.
Etretat sprang into popularity during the latter half of the I9th century, largely owing to the frequent references to it in the novels of Alphonse Karr.

The monumentality of the famous cliffs at the coastal resort of Etretat in Normandy is not typical of most of Monet's other subjects.
The Etretat painting does, however, serve as a typical example of the Impressionist style.
His hope of having a few finished canvases at the conclusion of his three-week sojourn was not realized, but by the end of that year he had painted at least eighteen views of Etretat.

Etretat is great for a visit and lunch on the beach, and afterwards a walk up the cliffs, but I agree, stay in Honfleur.
I enjoyed staying in Etretat; it was low-key, and lovely to enjoy the beach early in the day, when you can have the entire place to oneself.
We had thought of visiting Etretat and Fécamp but decided that it would make for a pretty long day by the time we got there, spent some time (walking out to the cliffs is not a short jaunt), and then drove to Honfleur via Trouville and Deauville.

In the comparatively regular outline of the coast there are a few breaks, as at Le Trport, Dieppe, St Valery-en-Caux, Fcamp and Havre, the Cap de Ia Hve, which commands this last port, and Cape Antifer, 12 or 13 m.
Its court of appeal is at Rouen, the capital.
Rouen, Havre and Dieppe and in a lesser degree, Elbeuf, Fcamp, Harfleur, Lillebonne, Yvetot, Eu, Le Trport, Aomale, Etretat, Bolbec, Bafentin and Caudebec-en-Caux (see separate articles) are noteworthy towns for commercial, architectural or other reasons.

Whatever the season (but by avoiding the summer, encumbered well), one never wearies famous cliffs of Etretat.
Do not take useless risks at the edge of cliffs, remain on the ways and are very careful with your children.
The path goes down again towards the sea after 2 kilometers approximately, which gives access to you the beach of the Lime, much quieter than the not very gracious sea front of Etretat even.

 Guy de Maupassant : The Englishman of Etretat
I will attempt to show him just as I saw him and to give an idea of the strange impression he made on me, which will remain with me throughout time.
I believe it was in 1867 or in 1868 that an unknown young Englishman came to Etretat and bought a little but hidden under great trees.
It was said that he lived there, always alone, in a strange manner; and he aroused the inimical surprise of the natives, for the inhabitants were sullen and foolishly malicious, as they always are in little towns.

We finally decided that we are going to drive from Paris to ETRETAT in June.
I want to see Etretat for sure, but if we're pushed for time, it sounds as though we could easily forego Fecamp.
That puts you in Etretat by 4:30 - - and if this is mid-June when it doesn't get dark until 10, then you can hike and have dinner - - and still be back in Paris, by say...

We spent two nights in the small village of Etretat on the North Atlantic coast.
This arch, just south of Etretat, changed colors dramatically depending on the light.
In shade, as here, it was mostly gray and blue; in sunshine, it was warm greens and shades of tan and yellow.

 Rough weather at Etretat, Claude MONET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In letters to friends, he wrote of the stormy weather he experienced that winter and he was disappointed that it forced him to abandon Le Havre for Etretat.
This was a popular fishing village, and an area he felt too often painted by other artists for him to create 'new' works.
It is perhaps testament to Monet's genius that the Etretat paintings are certainly not hackneyed or stale, as his unique perception and vigorous style translated into a fresh interpretation of the area.

 The Manneporte (Etretat)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In contrast to the monochrome line and wash of ink painting, Monet’s lines are coloured, thick and pastey, and adhere together to form a dense, mobile surface.
The rearing cliff in The Manneporte (Etretat) is built up from broad patches of colour covered with line after line of saturated ochres, rusty reds, zigzags and glazes of blue-violet or blue-green.
The nature of the brushmarks suggests that they were painted rapidly; they not only embody the dynamic, upward thrust of the motif, but also enact the dynamism of the creative act.
