Situated on the English Channel, the Côte d'Albâtre is the name given to the coastline of the Pays de Caux in the Seine-Maritime region. Its white cliffs are geological wonders that are unique in the world, and over the years have charmed many artists such as Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet and Eugène Delacroix, and more generally the Impressionists, as well as writers including Maupassant, Maurice Leblanc and Georges Simenon.
