Yport is not as crowded as Etretat and has very cute streets.

Highly recommended is the ride on the Velo-Rails, which takes you directly down to Etretat. All you have to do is pedal, like riding a bike. It's basically the same, only on old rails. Then you return in an old retro train. Absolutely beautiful. And since our little one was only 4 months old at the time, we were able to easily strap a baby car seat onto the seat and transport the folded stroller frame with us.

The Pointe du Chicard [the cliff face on the left when arriving at the beach], protects from the main winds. The karst is particularly developed at the Pointe du Chicard.

The old Market Hall, built in 1926, no longer functions as a market hall. Instead, there are many souvenir shops here.

Yport beach is a real insider tip on the Alabaster Coast. The pebbly beach offers you a fantastic view of the white cliffs that stretch along the coast and, in combination with the sea, create an impressive panorama. Yport itself has retained the charm of a small Norman fishing village, and a stroll along the promenade is the perfect way to absorb the tranquil atmosphere of this place. Along the coast you can enjoy the fresh sea air and stop off at one of the small restaurants to try freshly caught seafood. The beach is particularly interesting at low tide, when small snails and mussels cover the rocks and the tides change the landscape. Yport also offers you much more peace and quiet than busy Étretat and is ideal for a relaxing day by the sea. The view of the cliffs and the sea is truly unique, and if you like it cozy, you can sit down on the promenade with a drink and just enjoy nature

The Notre-Dame church in Bénouville is a little gem in Normandy that contains a lot of history and art. The choir of the church dates from the late 12th century and impresses with its pointed vaults. The nave was probably built in the 16th or early 17th century. Particularly worth seeing are the frescoes by the religious painter Louis Chifflet from 1895, depicting scenes from the childhood of Christ. Two beautiful wooden statues - Saint Eutrope and Our Lady of the Port - draw attention here. The tombstone of Antoine Gillain, Marquis de Bénouville, from 1768, as well as the coat of arms of the Gillain family, give the interior a historical depth. Another highlight is the remarkable Eucharistic reserve in polychrome stone, crowned by a dove. Despite the often large number of visitors who enliven the village, especially in season, this place retains its charm and offers you a glimpse into the rich history of the region. If you are walking through Bénouville, it is worth taking a short stop here to take in the silence and atmosphere of this historic place
