Môle des Noires, Historic jetty in Saint-Malo, France
The Môle des Noires extends 510 meters into the sea from Saint-Philippe bastion, constructed with granite stones from Chausey islands.
Built in the 1840s, the jetty's length doubled between 1932 and 1933, and German forces damaged it during their 1944 retreat.
The name potentially originates from mourning women who gathered in the area or from the black rocks present at the construction site.
Visitors can access the jetty throughout the year to observe maritime activities and take photographs of the port entrance.
A cylindrical lighthouse, initially erected in 1838 and rebuilt in 1959, marks the end of this protective maritime structure.
