Toulinguet Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse at Pointe du Toulinguet, Camaret-sur-Mer, France
The lighthouse stands at the edge of steep cliffs, featuring white walls that contrast with its gray stone base and traditional architectural design.
Built in 1848, the lighthouse became essential for maritime navigation, helping vessels traverse the complex waters around the Crozon Peninsula of Brittany.
The structure represents the maritime traditions of Brittany, joining other navigational buildings that mark the French Atlantic coastline through centuries.
Located near military installations, access to the lighthouse requires special permissions, with guided visits available through the local tourism office.
The site combines a lighthouse, a semaphore station, and military fortifications, creating an integrated coastal monitoring system that remains active.

Maritime lighthouses guiding ships along the coasts of metropolitan France. Stone, granite, and limestone towers rise on capes, islands, and peninsulas. These historical structures, dating from the 17th to 20th century, ensure maritime navigation. Notable lighthouses include Cordouan, the oldest active lighthouse in France, and Île Vierge, the highest stone structure in Europe. Some are positioned at sea, like La Jument and La Vieille, others on the coast like Eckmühl with its 307 steps. These lighthouses demonstrate French maritime engineering.
