Located on a strategic point of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, facing the points of Roselier (Plérin) and Cesson (Saint-Brieuc), it overlooks the Nature Reserve of the Bay. A belvedere has been built on the platform of the former blockhouse of the German occupying army during the 2nd World War. To defend the Atlantic Wall, 500 artillery posts have been installed throughout the department, including about ten on the Hillion peninsula.
