The Perdrix, Maritime beacon in Finistère, France

The Perdrix stands at 17.40 meters tall, constructed from concrete, and functions as a navigational aid along the Finistère coastline of France.

Built in 1918, the Perdrix beacon served maritime navigation until its decommissioning in 1947, marking an important period in French coastal infrastructure development.

The structure bears both French and Breton names, with locals referring to it as 'Ar Gluger' in the regional Breton language.

Located at coordinates 47.837528 latitude and -4.166103 longitude, the Perdrix remains visible on maritime charts for reference during sea navigation.

The beacon's black and white paint pattern creates a distinct silhouette against the sky, serving as a daymark for ships passing through the area.
