The lofty elevation of the chalk cliffs of Cap Fagnet, competing with Étretat for being the highest point on the Alabaster coast at 105 m, allows for the modest building height of Fécamp's lighthouse and Navy signal station. The dramatic location on the edge of the cape offers a breathtaking panorama of the sea, the cliffs, the port and the town of Fécamp.

Cap Fagnet is the highest point on the Alabaster coast. It offers a breathtaking panorama of the sea, the cliffs, the port and the town of Fécamp. It rises to 105 m and was formerly called the “Heurt de Fécamp”. It is currently occupied by a semaphore of the French Navy. From Cap Fagnet, the view stretches as far as Étretat.

Great view, but unfortunately the exit to Fécamp is closed. Therefore you have to drive back about 3 km and take the detour.
