See Porte d'Aval, Étretat, Normandy, France
Porte d'Aval is a striking rock formation on the Alabaster Coast in Normandy in France.
The white chalk cliff , interspersed with brown-black layers of flint, extends about 100 meters in a northwest direction into the English Channel. The name Falaises d'Aval also exists for the rock itself . Its northern very narrow end forms a high rock arch known as the ark . To the west, the rock needle Aiguille d'Etretat stands in front of the rock in the water. The Valleuse de Jambourg extends southwest . Porte d'Aval belongs to the territory of the municipality of Étretat.
On the east side of the Porte d'Aval there are two crags, one of which was artificially created. A footbridge leads from the top of the Porte d'Aval to the Chambre des Demoiselles cave. In the eastern flank of the rock there is another cave called Trou à l'Homme .
The Porte d'Aval was a common motif used by painters. He can also be seen in pictures by Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. He was also seen in the Netflix series Lupine.
