Phare de Bel-Air, Electric beacon and historical lighthouse in Sainte-Suzanne, La Réunion, France
The white lighthouse with a red top reaches 20.25 meters in height and stands on a basalt cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Built between 1844 and 1846 according to architect Eugène Diomat's plans, the lighthouse prevented shipwrecks along the dangerous coasts of La Réunion.
The lighthouse received classification as a historical monument in 2012, emphasizing its role in the maritime heritage of the region.
The former keeper's quarters and engine room now serve as exhibition spaces, though the lighthouse remains closed to regular public visits.
In 2019, the French Post Office included Bel-Air Lighthouse in a stamp collection titled 'Landmarks of our Coasts.'
