Mont des Avaloirs, Mountain summit in Mayenne, France
Standing at 416 meters, Mont des Avaloirs features an 18.5-meter observation tower providing views across the surrounding Alpes Mancelles countryside.
The mountain became part of the Normandie-Maine Regional Natural Park, established to protect the natural heritage spanning across Mayenne, Sarthe, Orne, and Manche departments.
Street artist Seb Toussaint created a nature-themed fresco on the observation tower, incorporating images of local flora and fauna that change appearance between day and night.
Visitors can climb 108 stairs to reach the panoramic platform, which offers a 360-degree view extending over fifty kilometers in clear weather conditions.
The summit area contains the Egoutelles peat bog, where carnivorous plants grow alongside rare species like the Fire Salamander and Large Marsh Grasshopper.
