The Cassidaigne, Maritime navigation beacon in Cassis, France.

The Cassidaigne rises from the Mediterranean waters near Cassis, featuring black and red bands with two black spheres at its summit.

The French maritime authorities established this isolated danger mark to protect vessels from underwater hazards in the Mediterranean shipping routes.

Maritime communities around Cassis and Marseille use the Cassidaigne as a reference point during traditional fishing activities and sailing events.

The structure emits a specific sequence of white light flashes at regular intervals, helping ships maintain safe distances from underwater obstacles.

Located within the Calanques National Park boundaries, this navigation aid stands among limestone cliffs and protected marine environments.
