Pont du Diable, Rocky viewpoint in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, France.
The Pont du Diable stands as a natural rock formation along the coast, providing views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Terre Nègre Lighthouse.
The site received its name during the 18th century when local inhabitants developed stories connecting the unusual rock formations to supernatural origins.
The viewpoint forms part of the Natura 2000 network, contributing to the preservation of natural habitats and marine ecosystems in Charente-Maritime.
Visitors can access the site through La Corniche des Pierrières, with designated parking areas and cycling paths available near the observation point.
Square-shaped rock formations known as Les Pierrières emerge from the water, creating natural geometric patterns visible from the observation deck.
