At the Signal de Sauvabelin

This vantage point offers a vast panoramic view over the city and its surroundings.

The two towers of the cathedral, set against the background of the lake, are revealed from this spot. It also offers broad panoramic views across the city and surrounding area. The name of the site is also closely tied to this ample vista. Indeed, many centuries ago, a watch would be posted there to act as look-out and signal the arrival of approaching enemies. In more recent times, two celebrities who resided just a stone’s throw away were able to feast on this romantic view: the fashion designer Coco Chanel in the late 1960s and the singer David Bowie in the 1980s and 1990s.
