Bodic lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Lézardrieux, France.
Bodic lighthouse is a stone structure positioned at the mouth of the Trieux river near Lézardrieux. The building rises from open ground in a rural setting and overlooks the waters where the river meets the sea.
An earlier lighthouse built in 1867 occupied this location until German forces destroyed it in 1944 during World War II. The current building was erected in 1949 to restore navigation guidance to the estuary.
The lighthouse serves as a key landmark for the Trieux estuary, shaping how people navigated these waters for generations. Visitors can see how the structure stands as a physical reminder of the connection between the coast and seafaring life in this region.
The lighthouse sits on flat, open ground that is easy to approach on foot from nearby areas. Wear sturdy shoes as the grass and earth can become muddy in wet conditions.
This lighthouse works in tandem with another beacon called Croix near Ploubazlanec to guide ships safely through the estuary entrance. Together, these two structures form a navigation system that sailors have relied on for generations.
