Phare de la Lande, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Carantec, France.

Phare de la Lande is a lighthouse on the heights above Morlaix harbor in Carantec. Its square tower has white rendered walls with dark brown stone quoins, rising to an open metal gallery with a railing and a black lantern. A small window sits high on the front face, and a low building with a grey pitched roof, chimney, and matching stone trim is attached at the right.

The site's first marker was a tower-amer set up in 1775 by Morlaix privateer Charles Cornic du Chesne, after he counted 25 shipwrecks between 1744 and 1775 and sent a memorandum to the Minister of the Navy. The present square tower, with white rendered walls and brown stone quoins, was built later and automated in 1993.

The name Lande refers to the moorland above the Morlaix roadstead where the light stands. The tower's white rendered walls contrast with the dark brown stone quoins at its corners, and a low building with a grey pitched roof and chimney adjoins it. The site is a maison-phare, a lighthouse with keeper's quarters, now unstaffed.

The lighthouse stands on the heights at the head of the Morlaix roadstead, in Carantec. It has been automated since 1993 and is no longer kept or open to visitors, so the tower and its attached building can only be seen from outside. Approach from the surrounding elevated ground for a clear line of sight over the water.

The site's first marker was a tower-amer put up in 1775 on the initiative of Morlaix privateer Charles Cornic du Chesne, who sent the Navy Minister a memorandum after 25 shipwrecks were counted between 1744 and 1775. The present tower was automated in 1993 and is telecontrolled from Brest.
