Grand Jardin lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Saint-Malo, France.

The stone lighthouse rises 32.71 meters above the waters of Brittany, marking the entrance to Saint-Malo harbor with two red flashes every ten seconds.

Built in 1865 under architect Joel Hardion's direction, the lighthouse provided essential navigation support for vessels entering the port of Saint-Malo.

The Grand Jardin lighthouse represents maritime engineering excellence of the 19th century and stands as a testament to French coastal architecture.

Located 4 miles northwest of Saint-Malo, the lighthouse functions as the front range light for several other beacons in the navigation channel.

The lighthouse remains fully operational while maintaining its status as a classified historical monument, combining modern maritime safety with architectural preservation.
