Phare de Langoz, Lighthouse in Finistère, Brittany, France

The phare de Langoz is a cylindrical stone tower on a low stone wall on Langoz beach in Loctudy, Finistère. Its body is painted white with a small rectangular door on one side, and the top is red, with a red lantern section under a domed red cap and a gallery railing. White capital letters on the red band read "LANGOU". It marks the entrance to the port of Loctudy and the Pont-l'Abbé river and signals a rocky area nearby.

The lighthouse was built in 1863 and served sailors and fishermen for more than a century. During the Second World War, it was occupied by German soldiers in 1940 and damaged by the German navy in 1944, then repaired afterward.

The name "LANGOU" appears in white capital letters on the red band around the lantern, as seen on the tower. The white base and red top mark the entrance to the channel of Loctudy harbour and the Pont-l'Abbé river, and the light also signals a rocky area nearby.

The lighthouse stands on Langoz beach in Loctudy, at the mouth of the Pont-l'Abbé river where it meets the channel into the port. It is viewed from the outside only; the beach and shoreline give the closest approach. Do not confuse it with Les Perdrix, a disused black-and-white checkered turret further upstream between Loctudy and Île-Tudy.

Until 2004, a lighthouse keeper and his family lived on site before the light became fully automated. A nearby older tower called Les Perdrix, painted with black and white checks, once served as a navigation aid but is no longer in use today.
