Phare de la Palmyre, Maritime beacon in Charente-Maritime, France
The Phare de la Palmyre rises 57 meters above sea level with its recognizable white and black striped pattern visible across the Atlantic waters.
The lighthouse began operations in 1960 to protect vessels from coastal hazards and guide maritime traffic through the challenging waters of the Gironde estuary.
The exhibition hall within the lighthouse presents maritime navigation artifacts and educational materials that showcase the rich nautical heritage of Charente-Maritime.
Visitors can climb 300 steps to reach the observation platform, which remains open to the public during specific hours throughout the year.
The lighthouse functions both as an active navigational aid and as a museum, featuring displays about regional maritime history and lighthouse operations.
