Explore Etretat with Domaine Saint Clair Le Donjon

A beautiful hike starting from Montivilliers for a discovery of the north of the Le Havre agglomeration Stage of the famous road of the Abbeys, Montivilliers owes its prosperity and its name to its prestigious abbey of women, an originality among the many rather male Norman abbeys. The ancient "Monasterii Villare" (the monastery village) which gave its name to the town is one of the great monastic foundations of the 7th century in the lower Seine valley. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Abbey of Montivilliers had a great influence. Monastic life ceased in 1792, following the French Revolution. The Abbey then became the seat of the District and of the Popular Society, prison and garrison. In the 19th century, it housed a cotton mill, then a sugar refinery and finally a brewery.

The tourist offices are always on hand to help you prepare your stopovers, and to encourage you to follow this itinerary. On this page, you'll find the GPX tracks to help you on your way: the complete track, as well as its variants and off-GR® tracks, ensuring continuity of the itinerary at high tide. You should check the tide times on the stretches along the beaches. Some sections can only be walked at low tide, as there are no protective dykes at the top of the beach. At high tide, the sea is at its highest level: depending on the tidal coefficient, it can cover the upper beach, making passage impossible. As a general rule, you shouldn't set foot on a beach for 2 hours before or after high tide, and this time should be increased during high tides. In this case, you should use the off-peak GR® or alternative routes. Please check tide times and coefficients (www.maree.shom.fr). This hiking route is a continuation of the GR® 21, which starts in Le Tréport and runs to Le Havre in the Seine-Maritime region. The Pont de Normandie can be crossed by bus to reach Honfleur, the starting point of GR® 223. All you need to do is get ready: comfortable rucksack, tried-and-tested walking shoes, water bottle, supplies... and off you go along the Calvados coastline!
