    Hiking

    The Cabane Vauban de Champeaux (= Fotopoint) is a small 17th-century guard and observation hut on the cliffs of Champeaux. It is part of a defense network established by fortress architect Vauban under Louis XIV to monitor the coast. Later, customs officers used the hut to control smugglers and ships. Today, it is accessible via the GR 223 (Sentier des Douaniers) and offers spectacular views of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel.
