The hole of the Devil is a sea cave due to the erosion of the rocks by the waves. When the sea is rough, the water seems to boil and gush from the roof of the cave. A truly remarkable view.

On the Vendée cornice, a stop at the Devil's Hole, for my part seen on a very windy day with rough seas. It is worth the detour when the sea rushes into the hole.
