Doing it the french way
We planned to stay in a campsite in Fecamp. We got there in time, to find that it was closed 'exceptionel' for one day!!!!!!
So we thought we would have a drive around and see if we could find anywhere to stop. Several motorhomes seemed to be making their way to the port, and as we had been to Fecamp 15 years ago it looked like a good idea to see what was there. From the north side of the harbour, it ...

We have pre booked tickets on ...

Les Falaises Blanches d'Etretat (the white cliffs of Etretat) are worth the effort. Even though we didn't have a car and public transportation in Normandy is minimal, we managed to get there after a train to Le Havre and the Keolis Ligne 24 bus from there. Even the anxiety of missing our bus stop was worth it (like a city bus, you have to ring for your stop - stops are not announced).
The chalky cliffs and arches ...
