Claude Monet painted the cliffs of Dieppe in 1897. The so-called classic cliffs of Haute-Normandie (Upper Normandy) are found in Pourville-sur-Mer, Puys, and Dieppe. Layers of chalk alternate with beds of flint, and rain erosion causes the soil to slide in long brown streaks. East of Dieppe, the Pollet and Bas-Fort-Blanc cliffs display excavations called gobes. These old quarries were inhabited until after the Second World War and closed by iron or wooden gates.
