Phare du cap Bénat, lighthouse at Bormes-les-Mimosas, in Var, France

The phare du cap Bénat, also called the phare du cap Blanc, stands at La Favière in Bormes-les-Mimosas, southwest of cap Bénat. Its white cylindrical tower is 14 m high, with a red gallery, a red lantern room and a red domed roof topped by a wind vane; a white keeper's house with a red tiled roof adjoins it. The light sits 84.6 m above sea level.

The lighthouse was built in 1895, though French archives recording its construction were later destroyed. Its red flash every five seconds has been used since the beginning; the lens was replaced during a 1917 modernization. It was automated in 1984 and has since been controlled from Porquerolles.

The lighthouse is also called the Cap Blanc lighthouse, after the Cap Blanc headland where it stands. Its red light flashes every five seconds, a rhythm used since it was built; the lens was replaced during a 1917 upgrade. The tower is 14 m high, while the light sits at 84.6 m above sea level.

The lighthouse stands on private land and is not open to the public, but the cape can be reached on foot via a coastal hiking trail from Bormes-les-Mimosas that takes about two hours. Visitors should plan to arrive during daylight to enjoy the coastal views and safely explore the surrounding area.

The tower stands 14 m high, while the building reaches 15.5 m; the light sits at 84.6 m above sea level. Its nominal range is 21 nautical miles (38 km), with a red flash every 5 seconds from a 1000 W halogen lamp. The archives were destroyed, so the construction date is unknown.
