The Signal de Sauvabelin also offers a beautiful view over the city and the surrounding area. In the Middle Ages, posts were set up here day and night to keep watch and warn the population of enemy attacks... for this purpose, a pile of wood was always ready to be lit in case of alarm.

The view is beautiful, but the nearby restaurant is not praised by locals, so bring something for a picnic.
