The
Côte d'Albâtre (literally the
Alabaster Coast) is part of the French coast of the
English Channel, corresponding to the coastline of
Pays de Caux and forming almost all of the coastline of
Seine-Maritime. Since 2009 it has been classified as a
Natura 2000 site. It takes its name from the white hue of its high chalk cliffs, including those of
Étretat, which stretch for over 120 km, dominating most of the coastline. It is part of the same geological system as the
White Cliffs of Dover on the far side of the English Channel.
