Étretat is best known for its cliffs, including three natural arches and the pointed "needle". These cliffs and the associated resort beach attracted artists including Eugène Boudin, Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet, and were featured prominently in the 1909 Arsène Lupin/Lupin the Third novel The Hollow Needle by Maurice Leblanc.

Using purity in the broken color method helps but I feel I have a long way to go.
