Etretat

"A bathing station not far from Fécamp, much frequented by artists and literary men, having risen into notice through the writings of Alfonse Karr. It is now one of the most fashionable watering-places on the northern coast of France, situated at the foot of interesting cliffs, with an open beach protected by an embankment. The casino is built on a wide terrace, with the bathing establishment on the right. The theatre, concert-room, ballroom, and restaurant of the casino afford amusement for the visitors, entrance fees being on a moderate scale. Beyond the cliff of Amont are the baths of the Roches Blanches, which, being difficult of access by a tunnel and an iron ladder, are only available for men. "
