Rosedo Lighthouse, Maritime signal tower in Île-de-Bréhat, France.

The Rosedo Lighthouse stands 40 meters tall with a rectangular tower and rounded front faces, constructed from cut stone blocks and covered by slate roofing.

The first lighthouse, built in 1858, was destroyed during World War II by German forces in 1944, leading to the construction of the current structure in 1947.

The lighthouse marked a milestone in French maritime history when Marie-Perrine Durand became the first woman to serve as an official lighthouse keeper at this location.

The automated signal tower operates with a 180W halogen bulb producing white flashes every five seconds, reaching visibility up to 20 nautical miles across the waters.

The lighthouse features four optical panels with a focal length of 0.15 meters and bears the inscription 'ROSEDO' on its white-painted exterior surface.
