NOTRE-DAME DE LA GARDE CHAPEL
Chapel founded in 1855 in honour of the sailors, destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt, private but open some days in August
Firmly clinging to the cliff of Étretat, Notre-Dame de la Garde has been watching over Étretat for more than 160 years. Built in the mid-19th century, this chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary required the strength of many sailors to carry the building materials to the top. Destroyed during the Second World War, the chapel was rebuilt in 1950. It was put up for sale in 2014 and then bought by the Conservatoire du littoral, which wanted to make it an exhibition and meeting place. The view of Étretat is breathtaking, if you have any left after climbing the flight of stairs that lead to it.
