It is on the Alabaster Coast in Normandy. The city is nestled between the famous towering cliffs. The beach is composed of stones that have been smoothed by the waves of the English Channel and the town is set just beyond the beach.
English is not common here, as it is a smaller village, but basic French or a book of phrases will get you by. The tourist information centre, next to the bus stop, has a lot of information about the history of the town and can direct you to the beach, a few blocks from the bus stop. Once at the beach, there are trails to hike up to either cliff. There are two large arch formations on the southwest side of the beach is one large arch on the northeast side of the beach, both are spectacular.
