Cap à l'Aigle
Cap à l'Aigle sits at 1,341 feet along the Route des Belles-Histoires, facing due east (90°). The land drops 160 feet over the first 600 meters from the overlook, giving an open view toward Sommet Bleu, a peak 2.3 miles away at 1,181 feet in elevation. Because the overlook faces directly toward sunrise, it lines up well for morning light through the seasons: sunrise falls at 07:01 near the March equinox, 05:07 at the June solstice, 06:44 near the September equinox, and 07:36 at the December solstice. Sunsets on those same dates run from 20:52 in June down to 16:15 in December, marking the range of daylight length across the year. The next stop along the route is Belvédère Simone-Levert-David.
