Phare de l'île de Batz

The stone lighthouse structure rises 42.60 meters above the northern coast of Brittany, providing maritime guidance across 23 nautical miles of ocean.

The Phare de l'île de Batz began operations in 1836 and underwent substantial modernization in 1937 when electrical systems replaced earlier lighting methods.

The former lighthouse keepers' quarters now contain exhibitions detailing the maritime traditions and daily life of the Batzien islander community.

Visitors can access guided tours for 5 euros per adult and 2.50 euros for children between 6 and 12 years old, with special night visits requiring reservations.

The lighthouse serves both as a functional navigation aid with its distinctive four-flash pattern every 25 seconds and maintains a focal height of 69 meters.
