Things to Do  

Falaises d'Yport.

Falaises d'Yport., Yport

 breughel Says:  Sur la Côte d'Albâtre les falaises situées au nord-est d'une plage sont appelées "falaises d'amont" et celles situées au sud-ouest "falaises d'aval" alors que amont signifie normalement la partie d'une rivière située près de la source et aval celle située près de...

"Doris" & "Plates".

"Doris" & "Plates"., Yport

Stay a while on the beach

Stay a while on the beach, Yport

 Pavlik_NL Says:  Beach and sea activities are - of course - the main activities in Yport. The beach is created by rounded stones and the surf is not that intens (when hard winds are not make them stronger). Swimming is great, but for children the seabed is rather quickly going deep.

Yport along the "Cote d'Albatre", Yport

 Pavlik_NL Says:  The French coast is roughly running from Fécamp until Le Havre. Cote d'Albatre means the Alabaster Coast and one can see why, when one drives along the horizontal rising white cliffs that sometimes have reached the stranged forms, by the sea's constant erosive processes.... 

Eglise de Yport

Eglise de Yport, Yport

 Cristian_Uluru Says:  This is the nice church of Yport built in the 19th century. I'm sorry but it was closed when I was there. 

Painters on the beach

Painters on the beach, Yport

 Cristian_Uluru Says:  The thing that has mostly struck me of this city has been to see many painters paint on the beach. It seems me to return back to the epoch of Monet, where this zone was one of the most famous of the whole France. 

The Beach and the cliffs

The Beach and the cliffs, Yport
