Feu de la Pyramide, Stone lighthouse in Bénodet, France
The Pyramid Lighthouse rises 48 meters above sea level on the left bank of the Odet River, guiding vessels with three red flashes every twelve seconds.
The original 9-meter tower from 1848 was rebuilt to 38 meters in 1887, then reconstructed in 1950 after German forces damaged it during World War II.
The lighthouse forms part of a maritime alignment system with Sainte-Marine lighthouse and Coq beacon, maintaining navigation safety at the Odet River mouth.
The automated beacon extends its light beam 14 nautical miles across the waters, operating without keepers since 1993 and remaining closed to public access.
The structure takes its name from a stone pyramid that marks the Odet River entrance, visible from the Glénan archipelago 20 kilometers away.
