La Garoupe lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Cap d'Antibes, France.

The limestone structure rises 29 meters high on the Garoupe plateau, reaching a total altitude of 103 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.

Built in 1948, this lighthouse replaced earlier structures and became the most powerful beacon along the Mediterranean coast of France.

The lighthouse grounds include a garden and an ancient chapel, reflecting the maritime traditions and religious heritage of the French Riviera.

Visitors can join guided tours in groups of 10 people, climbing 116 steps to access panoramic views of the coastline and mountains.

From its observation platform, the lighthouse offers a 180-degree view spanning from the Esterel mountains to the peaks of the Mercantour region.
