The coastal town of Étretat in the Pays de Caux of Normandy has three cliffs of white chalk and strata of flint (Aval, Amont, and Manneporte). While the Amont cliff looks like an elephant's head, the most renowned is the Porte d'Aval (Aval Gate) with its arch and hollow spire. The bottom of the cliff also comprises a cave known as the Trou à l'Homme (Hole of the man) after the body of a Swedish shipwrecked man was found there in 1792. His rescuers believed him to be dead, and he only owed his salvation to waking up during his funeral.
