Phare de Rochebonne, Stone lighthouse in Paramé, Saint-Malo, France.

The Rochebonne lighthouse features a square gray tower with white sides and red top, standing 19.90 meters tall near Minihic beach.

Built in 1868 with an oil light system, German troops partially destroyed the structure in 1944 before its reconstruction and reactivation in 1951.

The lighthouse represents maritime architectural traditions of Brittany, earning recognition in the general inventory of French cultural heritage monuments.

Located at coordinates 48.6711454, -1.9783518, the lighthouse emits a fixed red light visible from 24 nautical miles to guide ships through local waters.

Since 1975, this automated navigation aid operates without human intervention, ensuring maritime safety through the Grande Porte channel alignment system.
