Étretat is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in the Haute-Normandie region in north-western France.
A postcard to South Africa from Etretat. 9 May 1987.
This part of the French coastline was spectacular and we walked the cliff edge and the beach at Etretat.
A close look at the photo below has Fred in the righthand foreground as the 'pack-horse' on the beach, he carried Barry in the backpack and used to carry Shawni too when she got tired, which was often.

Hello, we came across your blog after a google image search revealed these wonderful photos of Etretat (we are nuts about Normandy). Your blog is such a charming idea, and so generous to share personal stories, thank you! This is us with some recent pics and a very old postcard that nearly matches your view from the cliff top http://www.normandythenandnow.com/the-torment-of-baron-frefosse-of-etretat-a-normandy-legend/ all the best, Pip
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Pip and I enjoyed reading your piece.
