Etretat is like being in a Swiss village, yes there was snow there too! It's where the Parisians come during the summer - a bit like Brighton I guess for a number of reasons ;) It has lots of hotels and restaurants and although very touristy and busy in the summer, it was relatively quiet whilst we were there. We dined in style, a 2 michelin star restaurant whose name escapes me right now, which was in the town and La Taverne des Deux Augustins, which definitely wasn't recommended by Jon but did fulfil my desire for pancakes, pre-pancake day, or crepes as the French call them. And although the food is a lot more touristy, it was cosy inside and relatively cheap too! V-Day was lunch at Auberge de La Rouge. a charming place near Fecamp, where the food was actually so much nicer than the 2** in town. Monet must have spent some time there and painted, 'The Cliffs at Etretat' in 1885.
