Belvédère du Cap Fagnet

The Belvédère du Cap Fagnet is a coastal viewpoint in Normandy that rises above the sea and offers wide views of white cliffs and Fécamp harbor. The site combines natural landscape with traces of human use visible in concrete structures and information panels.

The site took shape after a shipwreck that led to the building of a chapel and established its religious importance. During World War II, German forces built bunkers and a radar station that remain as witnesses to that period.

The Notre-Dame-du-Salut Chapel marks the landscape and recalls the old stories of sailors who came here for shelter. Visitors can sense the deep connection between this harbor and the faith of people shaped by the sea and wind.

This location connects to the GR21 long-distance hiking trail and has parking for visitors. Information panels on site help with orientation and explain the visible structures and cliff wildlife.

The cliff serves as a breeding ground for seabirds such as Northern Fulmars and other species that nest in the crevices. Birdwatchers find a diverse population here that can be observed year-round.
