La Croix Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse in Côtes-d'Armor, France

The La Croix Lighthouse stands 13 meters tall on the left side of the main channel leading to the port of Lézardrieux, between Bréhat Island and Ploubazlanec.

Built in 1865, this navigational structure replaced earlier maritime signals that were considered inadequate for ensuring proper vessel safety in the local waters.

The lighthouse holds importance in local maritime traditions, serving as a reference point for generations of fishermen navigating the Atlantic Ocean waters.

The structure features white paint on its eastern side and red crenellations, making it visible to vessels approaching from different directions at sea.

Located at the mouth of the Trieux River, this maritime beacon is only accessible by sea transport or kayak, limiting visits to water-based approaches.
