Tips on the spot

Check the local weather on the day; in fog or very poor visibility, postpone if the view is your main aim.
Come in the morning or late in the day for softer light and fewer people.
Bring a windproof and waterproof layer: the wind makes it feel much colder.
Wear shoes with good grip; after heavy rain, paths can be muddy or slippery.
Never cross a fence or safety marking for a better photo, and stay back from the cliff edge in strong wind.

Stay on the paths to limit erosion, and take all your litter home.
Do not count on toilets at the viewpoint, and bring water if the site is isolated.
Do not fly a drone without checking the rules, and do not disturb seabirds.
For sunset, plan your walk back after dark and bring a small torch.
Combine the stop with a visit to Moncontour, a nearby Petite Cité de Caractère.
