Phare de La Roque, Maritime lighthouse in Saint-Samson-de-la-Roque, France.
The lighthouse stands on a cliff 50 meters above the Seine estuary, offering views of Le Havre, Honfleur, and the Normandy bridges.
Built in 1839 by architect Leonce Reynaud, the lighthouse initially had the Seine river reaching its base before the estuary moved northward.
The structure received official recognition as a registered historical monument of France on September 15, 2011, preserving its maritime heritage.
Visitors can access the site through a marked hiking trail from Saint-Samson church, covering 110 meters of elevation over a 90-minute loop.
The lighthouse grounds feature an orientation table and educational panels detailing the local flora, including red hawthorn and wild orchids.
