Fanal d'Ébéon, Roman monument in Authon-Ébéon, France.
The Fanal d'Ébéon stands as a stone tower along the Roman road connecting the cities of Saintes and Bordeaux in western France.
Constructed during the Gallo-Roman period, this stone tower received classification as a historical monument in 1840, marking its importance in French heritage.
The monument shares architectural features with the Tower of Pirelonge in Saint-Romain-de-Benet, representing Roman construction techniques in the Charente-Maritime region.
