Phare du Millier, Stone lighthouse in Cap Sizun, France

The Phare du Millier is a house-lighthouse on the cliff edge of Cap Sizun in Beuzec-Cap-Sizun. Its tower, 8.40 metres tall, is half embedded in the keeper's house; the lantern sits 34 metres above the sea. The walls are granite, the house roof slate and the lantern zinc, with a wrought-iron railing around the walkway.

The lighthouse was built in 1881 and originally used an oil lamp for illumination. It was modernized over time, first with a mantle system in 1911 and later converted to electric power in 1965.

The lighthouse is twinned with Kannonzaki Lighthouse in Yokosuka, Japan. Its wrought-iron walkway railing carries the emblem of the French Lighthouse and Beacon Service, a detail visible up close. The keeper's house has an attached water cistern, a reminder that the isolated crew once stored its own supply.

The lighthouse is unstaffed and cannot be visited; the tower is set into the keeper's house, so there is no interior to tour. The site stands on the cliff at the Pointe du Millier, on the north coast of Cap Sizun at the southern entrance to Douarnenez Bay, in Beuzec-Cap-Sizun. The light is remote-controlled from Brest and shows white, green and red sectors with two occultations every six seconds.

The lighthouse is twinned with Kannonzaki Lighthouse in Yokosuka, Japan, a pairing visitors rarely notice. Its walkway railing is wrought iron and carries the symbol of the French lighthouse and beacon service. A water cistern stands against the keeper's house.
