Scenic viewpoint, Panoramic viewpoint in Jobourg, France
The viewpoint overlooks the English Channel from a height of 180 meters, offering views of the northern Normandy coastline and maritime traffic.
The observation point was established after World War II to monitor maritime activities along the coast, replacing earlier military installations from 1944.
Local fishermen gather at this location during specific seasons to spot schools of fish and coordinate their maritime activities in the channel.
The viewpoint contains information panels explaining the geological formations, local wildlife, and distances to visible landmarks across the English Channel.
During winter storms, visitors can observe waves reaching heights of 20 meters as they crash against the granite cliffs below the viewpoint.
