The story

Absolute fascination: Monet painted this 80 times, and one of these canvas almost killed him. A wave knocked him off his feet at Etretat. Dragged him under with his easel, his paints, everything. Locals pulled him out. He went back the next day. That's not dedication. That's obsession.

Understandable obsession, as these cliffs are not only a geological marvel, but they also carry numerous legends. Monet story and near drowning just added to the list.
