\u00c9tretat<\/a>, this little coastal jewel nestled in Normandy, is well known for its majestic cliffs and breathtaking scenery. While most visitors flock here during the summer months, we love re-discovering \u00c9tretat in winter. Between the tranquility of the beaches, the fresh sea air and the ambient calm, the getaway is peaceful and captivating.<\/p>\n\n

Iconic cliffs like l’Aiguille and l’Arche take on a mystical allure in winter, with soft lights, tumultuous waves and sometimes apocalyptic cloud skies making for an exceptional scene!<\/p>\n\n

What’s more, winter brings an intimate atmosphere to \u00c9tretat. The village streets are narrow and lined with Norman-style houses and small stores. Some will be closed. But you can stroll around and enjoy the charm without the tourist hustle and bustle of the high season. What a pleasure!<\/p>\n\n

We strongly recommend that you take advantage of one of your winter weekends to admire this pearl. See our hotel tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
