Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in France, including the picturesque region of Étretat Cliffs. These pesky insects thrive in warm and humid environments, making the coastal cliffs an ideal breeding ground for them.

In addition to being annoying, mosquitoes in France can also pose a health risk. The country has experienced outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and chikungunya. These diseases can be transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, leading to symptoms ranging from mild to severe.

To protect yourself from mosquito bites in Étretat Cliffs and other areas of France, it is recommended to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Additionally, removing standing water around your home can help reduce mosquito breeding sites.
