A remarkable lookout located on a dune in Arcachon, a privileged vantage point of the Ville d'Hiver.

This viewpoint, also called Sainte-Cécile observatory, is located on the dune of the same name. Privileged viewpoint of the Winter City, it dominates Arcachon from the top of its 15 meters. This metal tower was built in 1863 by the architect and engineer Paul Régnauld (who had a certain Gustave Eiffel as an assistant) and offers one of the most beautiful views of the basin. Limited to 8 people, the access can be impressive since the spiral staircase is only held by ropes and cables. One shakes sometimes while going up, but the game is worth the candle.

Le belvédère
La vue vaut la montée ! L'escalier en colimaçon est étroit et... pas très stable, ce qui au départ est totalement flippant. Mais la vue vaut la peine de surmonter son vertige !

LE BELVEDERE PASSERELLE ST PAUL
Incontournable lors d'une promenade dans le quartier d hiver de préférence hors saison en raison de la foule et attentes aux abords de la passerelle. Actuellement en travaux l'observatoire de Sainte Cécile vous fera découvrir un des plus beaux point de vue sur la ville (s'abstenir pour ceux qui ont le vertige)

Expérience intéressante
Je n'ai pas su monter jusqu'en haut car j'ai le vertige mais le belvédère est magnifique à voir, il est dans un emplacement très agréable. On ne peut monter qu'à 6 ou 8 en haut, dommage que les gens ne respectent pas la règle ou restent très longtemps en haut entraînant une attente assez importante.

Vue sublime
Le belvédère est à faire absolument. Le point de vue est à couper le souffle. Je recommande cette ascension, un vrai moment de plaisir pour admirer le bassin.
