Phare de la pointe d'Agon

The Pointe d'Agon lighthouse stands 39 meters tall on the Normandy coast, emitting light signals visible from several nautical miles to guide maritime traffic.

Construction of the stone lighthouse began in 1856, marking a significant development in maritime safety for the region's busy shipping routes and harbors.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Normandy, where generations of keepers maintained this essential navigational structure for passing vessels.

Visitors can access the lighthouse through guided tours organized by the Tourist Office of Agon-Coutainville, with advance reservations required for group visits.

The structure features advanced lens technology from the 19th century, which continues to operate effectively in guiding ships through the English Channel waters.
