Kerlédé Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Saint-Nazaire, France
The Kerlédé Lighthouse rises half a mile inland from the coast, featuring white walls and traditional architectural elements of maritime structures.
Built in 1897, this navigation aid directed maritime traffic along the Loire River until its decommissioning in 1961 after 64 years of service.
The lighthouse stands as a representation of French maritime engineering, reflecting the navigation methods used during the industrial development of Saint-Nazaire.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse location via public transportation line U2, getting off at Dauphiné stop, 240 meters from the structure.
The lighthouse position, set back from the coastline, made it function effectively as part of a system of aligned lights for river navigation.
