etretat
Étretat is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Haute-Normandie region in northern France. Étretat is best known for its cliffs, including a famous natural arch. These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tretat

That's a fantastic view and as natmeister said the colours are wonderful. Even so I'm guessing there might be a b&w version on the way... could work very well with the light and shadow on the cliffs.

This is incredible!!!
The two gulls soaring far below add yet another great touch to this already amazing photo!

Wow - wonderful shot- very dramatic! I love the way the greenery on top of the cliffs looks almost liquid as it spills over.
This is very similar to Durdle Door on the Dorset coast in Southern England, and considering the British Isles were once joined to continental Europe if you look at a map these two areas would have been very close and have similar geological features.
