Belvédère du Cap Fagnet

The Cap Fagnet viewpoint rises 105 meters above sea level, providing views of the white chalk cliffs along the Normandy coastline and Fécamp harbor.

During World War II, German forces constructed defensive fortifications at Cap Fagnet, including the Mammut radar station and multiple concrete bunkers in 1942.

The Notre-Dame-du-Salut Chapel, built following a shipwreck of Duke Robert the Magnificent, stands as a monument to maritime heritage and local faith.

The viewpoint connects to the 179-kilometer GR21 hiking trail, with parking facilities and information panels explaining the military structures and natural features.

The site functions as a protected Natura 2000 bird sanctuary, where Northern Fulmars, Great Cormorants, and Black-legged Kittiwakes nest in the chalk cliffs.
