50 strangers. 12+ nationalities. 1 unforgettable day in Étretat 🌊✨ On 24 May, we left Paris for a day trip to Étretat and somehow created something really special. Around 50 amazing people from France, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Algeria, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Tunisia, Morocco, Ukraine, Russia and more spent the day together laughing, exploring, swimming, picnicking, sharing stories and making memories 💙 Some jumped into the sea, some explored the cliffs, some simply relaxed and enjoyed the view… but everyone left with memories. Moments like this remind me why I love organizing trips: bringing people together and creating experiences that turn strangers into friends.
