Cap Fréhel lighthouse, Coastal lighthouse in Plévenon, France

The stone lighthouse rises 32.85 meters above the cliffs of Cap Fréhel, featuring a powerful beacon system that alternates between white and red signals.

The original structure from 1685 was destroyed in World War II, leading to the construction of the current lighthouse in 1950 by architect Yves Hémar.

The lighthouse holds two national heritage designations, reflecting its role in maritime navigation and architectural significance within French coastal heritage.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through local buses or guided tours from Dinan, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions for exploration.

The lighthouse beam extends up to 110 kilometers across the sea, making it one of the most powerful maritime signals along the French coast.
