Pointe de la Belette, Scenic viewpoint in Angoulins, France
The Pointe de la Belette extends into the ocean with limestone cliffs rising 12 meters above sea level, offering views of the Atlantic coastline and nearby islands.
The location once housed a church dedicated to Saint-Nazaire before the year 1000, which disappeared due to ocean erosion, forcing residents to relocate inland.
Scientists study the site's 150-million-year-old limestone cliffs, containing preserved marine fossils, corals, and shells from the Cretaceous period.
Visitors can access the viewpoint through a coastal path starting near Camping des Chirats, with parking available along Rue du Chay for vehicles under 2 meters.
The area features protected dry grasslands and fifteen rare plant species, classified as a Natural Heritage Site for its Kimmeridgian reef formations.
