This was another day trip I had been looking forward to for a long time. Very easy excursion from Le Havre, one city bus from one terminal to the other. Takes a little over an hour and we bought a 24-hour bus ticket for 4€50. Could not be simpler.
When we arrived, we headed straight for the beach for the classic view of the Falaise d'Aval and it's monumental arch.
I walked down to the beach which was not easy over the wet rocks but I wanted to get to waterline! Frank waited for me on the boardwalk.
We then hiked up to the Falaise d'Étretat, great views but I was scared about being up on a cliff!
Chapelle Notre Dame de la Garde. Can't get in but it offers good views of Aval and the beach from up here!
Back down off the cliff, we sat at a café on the boardwalk for a drink. Kir Pêches as usual for me, but "Normand Style" with cider instead of wine. It was really yummy!
By 11:30 we were done, the sights were all soaked in, so we headed out into the village for lunch.
Plenty of room on the bus home!
We didn't do much in Le Havre once we got back around 3:30. Again, restaurants open late (for us) so we went back to the room to rest and recharge so Frank's maybe-cold would not take hold of him.
Closer to 6 we went out for a drink - can't beat the Happy Hour prices!
And then supper a little after 7. Nothing fancy, just a plate of pasta with mild mushroom sauce.
That was it for Le Havre! moving on to our final destination tomorrow.
