Phare de l'Île Louët, Lighthouse on Île Louët in Carantec, France.

The white stone lighthouse stands 17 meters tall on a granite island, featuring a cylindrical tower with a red lantern room at its summit.

Construction of the Île Louët lighthouse began in 1857, and keepers maintained the structure continuously until its automation in the 1960s.

Local fishermen and sailors consider the lighthouse a navigational reference point, marking safe passage through the waters of Morlaix Bay.

The lighthouse keeper's cottage, renovated in 2004, now functions as rental accommodation for up to ten people with solar power and running water.

Visitors must coordinate their own transportation to reach the island, as recreational vessels are not permitted to dock at the facility.
