This winter day trip was exceptional. The seamless hotel pickup set the tone. The walking tour was breathtaking—seeing the snow-dusted cliffs of Etretat was like a painting come to life. Our guide's stories made the landscape even more captivating. The highlight was undoubtedly the gourmet winter picnic. Bundled in warm blankets with a hot drink, enjoying exquisite treats before the dramatic Atlantic view was pure magic. The comfortable return journey with a thoughtful gift of French delicacies was the perfect finale. An absolutely flawless and memorable experience.

This tour is perfectly balanced! First, an energetic and very interesting walk along the cliffs. The guide showed all the most iconic spots: both the Porte d'Aval, and the Needle, and the panoramic views that take your breath away. It was great to learn the stories about shipwrecks and artists. And afterwards – complete relaxation. The picnic with an ocean view was exactly what we needed. Settling into a chair, wrapping yourself in a blanket, drinking hot chocolate and eating delicious pies... It was a moment of absolute peace and harmony with nature. Thanks to the driver for the safe journey on the winter roads and for the gift that we happily ate in the evening, reminiscing about this wonderful day.

Want to feel like the hero of a romantic movie? This tour is your chance! Everything was impeccably organized, from the moment the personal driver picked us up to the return journey. The cliffs of Étretat in winter look even more dramatic and monumental. The walk was intense but unhurried. And the picnic was the culmination. A stylish table set right on the edge of the cliff, warm blankets, a thermos of steaming mulled wine, and a basket with the gastronomic joys of Normandy. It was a moment of pure poetry! We didn't even notice the piercing wind, we were so absorbed by the beauty around us and the coziness created for us. The gift at the end was a sweet finale to this perfect day.

We were looking for a way to see the famous cliffs without the summer crowds – and we found the perfect option! The journey from Paris was comfortable, and upon arrival, we were given a real gift – Étretat all to ourselves. The walking tour with the guide was very dynamic and informative; we learned a lot about Monet and other artists. The stop at the Notre-Dame de la Garde chapel offered a chance to take stunning panoramic photos. And the picnic... It was so Frenchly elegant! Despite the winter weather, we felt cozy and romantic. The hot tea and delicious treats were just what we needed. We returned tired but incredibly happy. Thank you for such a thoughtful winter experience!

This was the most magical trip from Paris! Étretat in winter is something mesmerizing. Deserted beaches, a leaden sea, and insanely powerful cliffs against a low sky. Our guide led us along the most spectacular trails, telling local legends that made everything even more mysterious. And then we were treated to that very picnic! A stylish table with a view of the Atlantic, warm blankets, a thermos of aromatic mulled wine, and amazing French snacks. Sitting there, listening to the sound of the surf, and feeling your cheeks burn from the frost – it's priceless. We returned to Paris with a surprise gift and a feeling that we had visited another, wilder and more majestic world.
