Why Étretat for Your Photoshoot
Étretat is two cliffs and the pebble beach between them, and both ends earn their walk. The Falaise d'Aval, with its arch and the 70-metre Aiguille behind it, is the signature frame: shoot it from the beach, then climb the staircase path to the clifftop for the reverse view down the coast toward the Manneporte, the larger arch most visitors never reach. The Falaise d'Amont on the other side carries the little chapel of Notre-Dame de la Garde and looks back at the whole scene. Timing is everything here: low tide opens the foot of the Aval cliff and the rock shelf below the arch — check the tables, the sea comes back without negotiating — and in summer the sun sets into the water almost in line with the arch. Wind is constant, so plan hair and dresses accordingly. Proposals: clifftop above the Aval at golden hour, crowds thin fifty metres past the viewpoint.

We turned to Aurélie to capture our wedding, and we couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer for such an important day. Her work is quite simply exceptional. The photos are beautiful, natural, elegant and, above all, full of emotion.…

Top Photo Spots in Étretat
The most photogenic locations for your Étretat photoshoot
Falaise d'Amont over the Porte d'Aval at sunset
The northern clifftop, with the chapel behind you and the great arch and needle across the bay — the frame that holds all of Étretat at once.
Best time: Sunset; near midsummer the sun drops close to the axis of the arch, in winter far to the south
Constant wind, no barrier and undercut chalk — stay well back from the edge. Ten minutes of steps up from the promenade, no shade at the top.
The Porte d'Aval and the Aiguille from the beach at low tide
At the foot of the arch on the wave-cut shelf, with the needle framed inside it — a picture that exists only for the couple of hours around low water.
Best time: The two hours either side of low water; late afternoon light on the arch, sunset behind it in summer
Read the day's tide tables and leave a wide margin — the way back closes before the platform does. Wet chalk is genuinely slippery: grippy flat shoes.
The Manneporte from the clifftop path
The biggest of Étretat's three arches, twenty minutes further along the cliff than most visitors ever walk — Monet painted it repeatedly, and it is usually empty.
Best time: Afternoon into evening, when the sun comes round onto the arch; in summer it sets over the sea beyond
Twenty minutes further than the crowds go, on grass and chalk with no shelter — proper shoes and a full hour there and back. Undercut edge: keep back.
Les Jardins d'Étretat topiary terraces
Clipped box sculpted into waves and faces on the clifftop, with the arch and the sea framed through the gaps — a designed garden and a working weather plan.
Best time: Overcast or the first and last hours, when low sun rakes across the clipped forms
Ticketed private garden with seasonal hours — check them, and check the rules: a shoot beyond ordinary visitor photos normally needs their agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photography in Étretat
How much does a photoshoot in Étretat cost?
Professional photoshoots in Étretat start from €310, and most one- to two-hour packages fall between about €310 and €450 depending on length and the number of edited photos. That covers an hour on the pebble beach under the Aval arch as well as a longer session that climbs to the clifftop for the wider coast. Edited photos usually arrive within about a week.
What are the best photo spots in Étretat?
The pebble beach with the Falaise d'Aval, its arch and the 70-metre Aiguille behind it; the staircase path to the clifftop for the reverse view down the coast; the Manneporte, the larger arch most visitors never reach; the Falaise d'Amont opposite with the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Garde; and the rock shelf below the arch at low tide.
What is the best time of day for photos in Étretat?
Timing here is tidal before it is anything else. Low tide opens the foot of the Aval cliff and the rock shelf under the arch — check the tables, because the sea comes back without negotiating. Golden hour on the clifftop is the reliable light, and in summer the sun sets into the water almost in line with the arch. Wind is constant, so plan hair and dresses for it.
How hard is the climb to the clifftop?
It is a staircase path and then a grassy walk, about fifteen minutes up from the beach — steep but not technical, and doable in most footwear except heels. The pebbles are the harder part. On top there are no barriers at the edge and the chalk crumbles, so keep well back, especially with children, and give the wind a wide margin.
