Sept-Îles lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Sept-Îles archipelago, France.

The semi-cylindrical stone tower rises 20 meters high with a balcony and lantern, projecting light visible from 39 kilometers at sea.

The original 1835 round tower lighthouse was replaced in 1854 with a square design, then destroyed in 1944 and reconstructed in 1952.

The lighthouse stands within France's earliest private ornithological reserve, established in 1912 to protect declining seabird populations.

While the archipelago welcomes visitors through boat excursions, the operational lighthouse building maintains restricted access for safety reasons.

Since 1957, this lighthouse operates using wind power through the most substantial turbine system among French maritime beacons.
