Monument à la mémoire de Nungesser et Coli, Aviation memorial at Falaise d'Amont cliff in Étretat, France.
The concrete spire monument rises 24 meters high at a 60-degree angle on the cliff, facing the English Channel where pilots departed.
The current monument replaced the original 1928 structure destroyed in 1944, commemorating Charles Nungesser and François Coli's 1927 transatlantic flight attempt.
The monument represents French aviation heritage and stands as a testament to the early 20th-century progress in aeronautical achievements.
Located at Avenue Damilaville, the memorial can be reached through walking paths from the Notre-Dame de la Garde chapel in Étretat.
The last confirmed sighting of L'Oiseau Blanc aircraft occurred over these cliffs before its mysterious disappearance in the Atlantic Ocean.
