Belvédère du Pey de la Blet, Scenic viewpoint in La Barre-de-Monts, France.
The Pey de la Blet belvedere rises 37 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Breton-Vendéen marshlands, and the surrounding forest landscape.
The name originates from a shepherdess named Blet who grazed her sheep on this dune, which was formerly called 'pey' in the local dialect.
The observation point stands within a 2,260-hectare state forest, planted with maritime pines during the 1850s following a Napoleonic decree to stabilize the coastal dunes.
Visitors must climb 184 steps to reach the summit, with an intermediate platform providing a rest area and observation point for local wildlife and vegetation.
The structure, completely rebuilt in 2023 using oak, douglas fir, and chestnut wood, enables clear views of both Noirmoutier Bridge and Yeu Island on cloudless days.
