Cheap taxi Paris to Étretat, at a good price

The cliffs of Étretat are among the most famous landscapes in France: the Porte d'Aval and its needle, the Manneporte, the Porte d'Amont and its chapel, painted by Monet and Courbet. From Paris, it is a very popular day trip, but also one of the trickiest by public transport, because Étretat has no station.

By train, you have to reach Le Havre or Bréauté-Beuzeville from Saint-Lazare, then take a bus to the resort. By car, parking is saturated at weekends and in summer. The taxi leaves from your address in Paris or the Paris region, drops you by the pebble beach, then comes back for you: on a free quote, a cheap Paris to Étretat taxi for a family or a group, at a good price compared with combined tickets.

How long from Paris to Étretat by taxi?

About 210 km via the A13 then the A29 and the Pays de Caux road, around 2½ to 2¾ hours on the road.

From the west of the Paris region, the A13 is right there and the trip slightly shorter. The driver drops you as close as possible to the seafront, where the paths up both cliffs begin. Arriving on a weekday out of season, traffic flows freely; on a summer Saturday, an early start avoids the jams entering the resort.

What to see in Étretat in a day?

• The Aval cliff, the Needle and the Manneporte, via the path west of the beach.
• The Amont cliff and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde chapel, to the east.
• The Étretat gardens, perched above the town.
• Le Clos Arsène Lupin, Maurice Leblanc's house.

The cliff paths call for good shoes and a little stamina; allow at least three to four hours on site to enjoy them. On the way back, the driver can also take in Fécamp or Honfleur, to be specified in the quote request.

Étretat and Le Havre: the cruise passenger case

Le Havre, a port of call for many cruises, is only some thirty kilometres away. A departure from Paris can combine a visit to Étretat before boarding, or the reverse on disembarking, with your luggage in the boot during the walk. The ship's schedule then sets the plan, and the driver allows a comfortable margin.

The return to Paris

At the end of the day, the driver meets you at the agreed point, often on the seafront, and takes you back to your address in Paris or the Paris region. After several hours walking the cliffs, the ride in the back seat is welcome. If you stay a night on the coast, the return can be booked for the next day, from Étretat, Fécamp or Le Havre.

When to go to Étretat?

Spring and early autumn often bring the best light on the cliffs, with fewer people on the paths than in summer. Spring tides uncover the foreshore and let you see the Needle more closely from the beach. In winter, the resort is quiet and the walks remain pleasant in dry weather; the driver adapts the departure time to the hours of daylight.
