Étretat and the Alabaster Coast Private Tour
The cliffs of Étretat are among Normandy's most distinctive coastal landscapes. Discover the natural arches, chalk formations and seaside atmosphere of the Côte d'Albâtre on a private journey designed around your interests.
Your private experience
Your chauffeur takes you to Étretat, where you can enjoy the seafront and accessible viewpoints. Depending on the chosen duration and departure point, additional coastal stops may be discussed. Paths above the cliffs can be steep and exposed; follow local safety signage and never approach unstable cliff edges.
This page is about the coast itself. Visitors who would rather pair the cliffs with Honfleur's harbour in a single cruise day will find that excursion on ourLe Havre to Honfleur & Étretat Private Tourpage.
Why travel with Normandy Private Driver?
The Alabaster Coast rewards people who can change their mind. Light, tide and wind decide which viewpoint is worth the stop, and some paths above the cliffs are steep and exposed. Travelling privately means the itinerary can be shortened, extended or re-ordered on the day, and adapted to the walking each passenger is comfortable with. Where you would like commentary on the coast and its history, a licensed guide is arranged separately.
Travel with an English-speaking private chauffeur. A licensed professional guide can be arranged on request.
