Hiking in Normandy between Fécamp and Yport

A beautiful hike in the land of the cliffs in Normandy between Fécamp and Yport.

A beautiful hike between Yport and Fécamp, the only problem is that you remains far away from the sea throughout the hike and you walk on a road not a pedestrian path. You can still go to the sea in the middle of the hike. Fécamp and Yport are worth the look.
