See Côte d'Albâtre, Le Tilleul, France
The Côte d'Albâtre (Alabaster Coast) is part of the French coast of the English Channel. It derives its name from its white cliffs, which stretch over 120 km, forming a unique landscape in the world.
High vertical walls of limestone rising from 60 to 120 m above sea level, the cliffs are, in places, streaky veins of black flint. Attack the sea, and thus gains up to a meter per year, eroding the cliffs by wave after wave: the upper part eventually relented, no longer based on anything.
Since 2009 it has been classified as a Natura 2000 site.
