Lighthouse of Saint-Valery-en-Caux

Lighthouse of Saint-Valery-en-Caux, Maritime lighthouse in Saint-Valery-en-Caux, France.

The cylindrical white tower with a green lantern gallery stands at the end of the western jetty, measuring 12 meters in height.

Built in 1882 and modified in 1914, this lighthouse underwent electrification in 1958, marking a shift from manual to automated operation.

The lighthouse represents an essential part of Normandy's maritime heritage, guiding vessels through the English Channel for over a century.

The light beam reaches between 5 and 15 nautical miles depending on weather conditions, using a FI(2) G 6s identification signal.

The structure operates alongside an 1857 cast iron candelabra with red light on the opposite jetty, creating a dual navigation system.
