Phare du Grand Rouveau, Maritime lighthouse on Grand Rouveau Island, France

The Grand Rouveau lighthouse features a 13-meter central tower flanked by two wings with tiled roofs, situated on the Grand Rouveau island.

Between 1861 and 1863, architect Leonce Reynaud directed the construction using Cassis stone for the foundations and corner chains of this maritime structure.

The Ministry of Ecology oversees this registered historical monument since 2012, protecting both the structure and the paved surface of its platform.

A driveable path connects the small island port to the lighthouse platform, with a renovated storage building located along the route.

The lighting system produces white light with two specific occlusions every six seconds, following a pattern marked on marine navigation charts.
