Phare du Titan, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Île du Levant, Hyères, France
Phare du Titan is a lighthouse on Île du Levant near Hyères, France, built with a round tower attached to a rectangular building structure. The tower measures roughly 10 meters tall and sits about 73 meters above sea level on the island.
The lighthouse was built in 1835 and experienced damage from gunfire during World War II. It underwent reconstruction afterward and has continued to operate since then.
The lighthouse forms part of the French coastal heritage and shapes how locals and visitors understand this island's relationship with the sea. It stands as a landmark that connects the community to maritime traditions.
The site operates as an automated navigation facility in use today with continuous monitoring of the surrounding waters. The island itself has restricted access due to military operations, so visiting requires advance planning.
The lighthouse sits within a military testing center where missile launch operations occur. This unusual dual purpose makes it both a historical monument and an active defense facility.
