Phare du Sénéquet

The Sénéquet lighthouse stands 16 meters tall on a granite foundation, featuring a grey tower structure with a distinctive red-painted upper section point.

Constructed in 1827 using granite stones from Chausey, the lighthouse underwent an important modernization in 1924 when electrical systems replaced the previous lighting methods.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Normandy, serving as a critical navigational reference point for vessels entering the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel.

The structure remains closed to the public throughout the year except during specific Heritage Days, as it sits within an active military zone.

The lighthouse becomes completely surrounded by water during high tide, making it appear to float isolated in the waters of La Manche.
