La Balue lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Saint-Malo, France.
La Balue lighthouse features a square stone tower rising 31 meters high with a fixed green light visible from 25 nautical miles.
The original lighthouse from 1868 was destroyed by German forces in 1944, leading to an identical reconstruction completed in 1948.
The lighthouse stands as part of France's maritime heritage network, receiving recognition in the national inventory of cultural monuments.
The structure operates through remote control systems and automated mechanisms, eliminating the need for permanent lighthouse keepers since 1975.
Located at coordinates 48.6267°N and 2.00389°W, this lighthouse emits a distinctive green directional signal using a 250-watt halogen lamp.
