The tower of a Christian church is usually crowned with a cross – symbolizing the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – or a rooster – symbolizing the denial of Jesus by the Apostle Peter. In this chapel, dedicated to "Notre-Damé" ("Our Lady"), the viewer instead finds a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary at the top. From this prominent position, it overlooks land and sea. The builders surely understood this primarily as a sign of blessing the earth and water – and especially the people who sail the sea.

The Cape is home to cormorants and many other bird species in a 5,700 hectare bird sanctuary.

At 110 metres high, Cape Fagnet is the highest point on the French Alabaster Coast in Normandy and is located directly above the harbour entrance of Fécamp. There are viewing points and a radar station on the cape. The view from the cape extends far along the chalk cliffs in the east and as far as Étretat in the west. In 2006, a small wind farm was built on the cape.

Throughout history, the inhabitants of Fécamp have come here to remain faithful to the memory of sailors. Even today, the crews setting sail greet Notre-Dame with three blasts of the siren to assure them of "fair winds and fair seas".

What is a semaphore for? Classified as category 1, the semaphore ensures constant surveillance, 24 hours a day. The Navy broadcasts news and weather reports to sailors and is involved in monitoring French waters, maritime rescue, signaling and combating pollution. What is the difference between a lighthouse and a semaphore? Lighthouses provide light to help ships navigate on the water. Semaphores monitor and control marine areas

The first semaphore in Fécamp was built in 1808: it is a brick building erected near the edge of the cliff. It has a characteristic hexagonal roof from which the semaphore mast rose. The current semaphore has been located since 1904 in the stone tower of the former "Lighthouse of the Virgin" built in 1834 and is about 117 meters above sea level.
