Phare du Portel, Historical lighthouse in Le Portel, France.
The Portel lighthouse consists of a 35-meter octagonal steel tower, topped with a red lantern visible from the English Channel.
The lighthouse construction dates back to 1848, followed by major upgrades including electrification in 1953 and automation in 1994.
This maritime structure earned recognition as a French historical monument on December 30, 2010, preserving its architectural heritage.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse via Rue du Cap, where guided tours explain the navigation system operations.
The lighting system produces two distinct flashes every ten seconds to guide vessels through the English Channel.
