Goulphar lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Bangor, France
The granite tower of Goulphar lighthouse rises 52.25 meters high on Belle-Ile-en-Mer, featuring a cylindrical structure with a balcony and lantern at its summit.
The lighthouse, designed by Augustin Fresnel, began operations in 1835 and received official recognition as a Monument Historique in 1995 for its architectural significance.
This navigational beacon represents the maritime traditions of Brittany, guiding vessels through the waters with its characteristic white light pattern every 10 seconds.
