Europe's only grand canyon.
Reviewed By B_Brierley - London, United Kingdom
We visited for 1 day in August 2020, and even in the height of summer with many other tourists, this was still an incredible experience. We arrived at La Base Nautique de l'Etoile which is the closest pedalo/kayak rental to the Gorge opening (on the left bank when looking at the Gorge) at 8:45am and joined the already formed queue of people (opens at 9am). We rented a pedalo for 40Euros for 2 hours - this allowed us to pedal as far as the Gorges allows (in terms of signposts, not in terms of ability) and enjoy some swimming while docked at the side before heading back. We could have used more time to relax and just enjoy. Arriving that early in the morning affords you some quieter time in the Gorge, even in summer, before it gets really filled up with boats/people. Due to our next stop, we ended up driving the D952 to Castellane by total chance which turned out to be one of our TOP drives of all time - just stunning and highly recommended.

Definitely worth checking out. The walk up the cliffs is invigorating and the view on the Atlantic and the little town of Etretat down below is beautiful.

Twisty ride, but some of the best views in the Cote d'Azur. Stunning views of Monaco all the way to Italy.

Walking a bit further than the porte d'Aval, there is a second arch, through which the first arch can be seen, as well as the bay with white cliffs. Well worth the walk and effort! The path, all the way to cap d'Antifer is well marked and easy to follow. And the further one goes from Etretat village, the quieter it is.

Great part of Corsica. Beautiful views. Small road by car, lots of turns and always stopping places to take pictures of the grand landscape! A must in Corsica!
