Belvédère du mont des Avaloirs, Observation tower atop Mont des Avaloirs, France
The 18.5-meter high tower stands at an elevation of 416.3 meters, providing unrestricted views extending over 50 kilometers in all directions across western France.
Built in 1994, this structure represents the third generation of observation platforms on this site, replacing previous towers from 1954 and 1914.
French-British artist Seb Toussaint created extensive murals on both sides of the tower in 2019, incorporating natural themes into the structure.
Visitors need to climb 108 steps to reach the viewing platform, which offers clear views toward Mont Saint-Michel during favorable weather conditions.
The tower sits at the highest point of the Armorican Massif, marking the most elevated location in northwestern France.
