What travellers are saying
- tammyBaltimore_MdBaltimore, MD2,350 contributionsI arrived prior to sunrise, and had the whole place to myself not 1 other person insight until I started climbing back down an hour & half later.
Breathtaking views from almost every place you look.
Yes the climb can be a little steep at time, might be difficult for those with disabilities unless you have a cane.
As I came into Lehavre from a cruise ship I was not going to pay $70 for a ride there, so if you like to save money walk about 1/2 hr to train/bus station and spend ONLY 3.60€ round trip for about an hour in each direction, walk about 5-10 minutes to the sea, you can't miss it, or follow the sounds of the seagulls.
Definitely recommend if you have a few hours in town, one of the top 10 most beautiful places I've ever visited, and I've been all over the world several times.
A little cold this time of year with a steady sea wind, but I'm sure it beats the crowds in the summer, just wear warm clothes and good walking/climbing shoes.Written 7 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- vbod2019Copenhagen, Denmark4 contributionsTrip by train from Rouen to Dieppe. Walking along the nice little port of Dieppe towards the Tourist Office, going straight on, passing nice restaurants, then arriving at the sea shore.
Sitting on these many different stones, watching the waves and listening to the birds living on this coast, finding their food out of these special stones.
It was absolutely amazing, observing these animals and feeling the power of nature, these tremendous watermovements of the sea.
A nice walk on this coastal area leads you quite close to this famous white falaises.
I was advised by a person living in the Normandie, not to walk too close to these rocks, neither above nor underneath as in younger times these falaises seemed to be able to break down.Written 29 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very nice.
Not too crowded and very clean.

- ChristineMarks Point, Australia40 contributionsFor someone like me from Australis, walking through this forest is amazing. There are wild boar in very large enclosures as they are an endangered species. You may also catch a glimpse of deer and squirrels. The walk is very easy and pleasantWritten 20 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MaggiMacGReading18 contributionsDefinitely worth a visit for gorgeous walks or bike rides through the woods and around the lake and then visit the restaurant for a delicious meal.
We had the beef filet and it was absolutely delicious!
Highly recommend.Written 20 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
