Nividic Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse at Pern Point, Ouessant Island, France.

The construction of this maritime beacon began in 1912 and continued through World War I until its official commissioning in 1936.

This lighthouse represents the maritime heritage of Brittany, marking one of five major navigation points on Ouessant Island.
