About Fagnet Cape
Cap Fagnet is the highest point of the Côte d'Albâtre (Alabaster Coast), rising 105-110 meters above the English Channel and offering spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of Fécamp, the harbor, and the dramatic chalk cliffs stretching toward Étretat. This Natura 2000 protected site features the historic 11th-century Notre-Dame-du-Salut Chapel, built by Duke Robert the Magnificent (father of William the Conqueror) after surviving a shipwreck, alongside WWII German bunkers from Hitler's Atlantic Wall including the ruins of an experimental Mammut radar station. Visitors can explore the clifftop on foot via the GR21 long-distance hiking trail, discover the orientation table identifying landmarks visible on clear days, and see the modern wind farm with its five 49-meter turbines.

The cape shares its name with a legendary fishing trawler 'Cap Fagnet' (1956-1974) that won the French cod fishing championship six consecutive times from 1957 to 1962. Captained by Émile Friboulet and later Charles Pontillon, this 74.8-meter vessel caught over 30,000 tonnes of cod during its career and later had a dramatic second life as a mercenary ship for Bob Denard's 1977 Comoros operation.
