  • Not that impressive, just a lack cliff so if you don't have a guide to understand what you are looking at you would probably not even notice them!!

  • Didn't live up to the expectations, but it was still interesting for a while. Go during low tide, and walk along the beach from villa de sur until you reach the cliffs. Digs are allowed, just not on/under the cliffs themselves. Take enough water, it gets hot!
  • Very cool place. You can find mollusks that are millions of years old.
  • Searching for fossile is prohibited
  • Super
  • To be seen at low tide to look for fossils. We find them very easily, and if we are lucky, we can find beautiful amonites. To identify them easily, to be combined with a visit to the Paleospace. Easy access via Villers-sur-Mer beach. Boots or walking shoes recommended.
