Roches-Douvres Light, Lighthouse in Côtes-d'Armor, France.
The stone lighthouse rises 64 meters above sea level, featuring a cylindrical tower with a green lantern that guides ships through the English Channel.
The original 1868 cast iron tower, assembled from parts displayed at the 1867 Paris Exposition, was destroyed by German forces in 1944.
The French Service des phares et balises maintains this maritime navigation structure, which received historical monument status in 2017.
Located 30 kilometers from the French coast between Île-de-Bréhat and Guernsey, the lighthouse operates automatically and remains closed to public access.
The reconstruction required 11,000 tons of materials, including pink and gray granite blocks numbered for precise assembly at this remote offshore location.
