Phare du Sénéquet

Until 1860, a 12m high granite turret was erected on the Sénéquet rock, topped with the tricolour flag and carrying no fire

Following the sinking of the Aviso L'Antilope, it was decided to transform the turret into a real lighthouse
The tower was added 8 meters for the development of 3 levels, 2 of which were used as housing

Around 1900, an 18m breakwater and a 19m slipway were built to facilitate docking
In 1937 the decision was taken to run the lighthouse on permanent light thanks to gas and since 1981 it has been fully automated
Today it is 24m high, 18m of which is above the highest sea level.
