This place might be a bit tricky to find. Auberville is on the D513 between Villers-sur-mer and Houlgate. Once in Auberville take the Chemin de l'église. Somewhere on your left you can find a sign indicating  both where to go to get to the vaches noires and that it is actually forbidden because it's too dangerous. To be honest it is a bit tricky. The first few hunderd meters you're walking through a field but once you're in the forest the path start decending really fast. Some parts were a bit slippery even though it hadn't rained in days. Because I was on my own I was a bit afraid to get stuck there with a twisted ancle or something like that so I took my time getting down there. In the end it took me just under half an hour. When I arrived at the beach I saw these huge flock of birds flying away. It was very misty so I couldn't really see it all but I thought the mist added an extra dimension to it all. I was there on my own with just these huge blocks of stone, the sea and a few birds who had decided I wasn't a treat at all. Very peacefull and calming. Some people come down there to look for fossils which apparently are found very frequently in these calcair grounds.

Great cliffs and one of the most famous Upper Callovian and Lower Oxfordian fossil deposit.
