Genesis of restoration
Automated in 1980, the Espiguette lighthouse has continued to light our coast for 150 years and guide sailors. An icon and beacon among the sand dunes of the Pointe de l'Espiguette, it is now the subject of a genuine tourist and cultural development project reconciling its function as a maritime signpost and an ecotourism site.
