A group of hikers used to walking together were left in shock on Thursday, May 12, 2022, at noon, after a member fell. The six hikers came from Sarthe to walk on the mythical cliffs ofEtretat. According to the gendarmerie services, a 59-year-old woman from the group got too close to the cliff and fell.
The second time since January.
The group was walking near the spire and golf course when the hiker slipped. “This is the second time this year that a person has accidentally fallen off the cliff,” note that the gendarmerie services warn visitors who get too close to the edge. The Surveillance and Rescue Operational Center (CROSS) intervened to provide assistance to the victim. They deployed a light boat, the all-weather boat Fagnet cap of the national maritime rescue company of Fécamp (76), the semi-rigid The Portaise of the Yport National Maritime Rescue Company (76) and the helicopter Dolphin of the French Navy based at Le Touquet (62). Once the body was found, the SAMU declared him dead.
Indeed, at the beginning of January, a 24-year-old woman had accidentally fallen from the top of the cliff, in the same place on the golf side of the resort, to the west of its beach.
