Saint-Tropez lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Saint-Tropez harbor, France

The lighthouse stands 16 meters tall at the end of the north jetty, featuring white trim details and a distinctive red lantern at its summit.

The original structure from 1869 was destroyed during World War II in 1944, leading to a temporary concrete tower until the current replica was built in 2001.

The red lighthouse serves as a symbol of Saint-Tropez maritime identity and appears in numerous photographs capturing the French Riviera landscape.

The lighthouse remains operational under the management of the Bureau des Phares et Balises, providing essential navigation guidance to vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.

The structure marks the entrance to Saint-Tropez harbor with a specific light pattern, helping boats navigate safely during nighttime and poor weather conditions.
