Acces to the site
The ecotourism site of the Espiguette lighthouse is a remarkable and protected area, access to which is regulated for its preservation. The site is only accessible on foot by taking a marked path from the natural parking area of the baronets: the wooden footbridge (known as a “platelage”).
It is possible to park on the natural parking area of the Baronnets. Parking is charged by the day from April to October in order to contribute to the preservation of this exceptional natural site.
The site is accessible on foot or by bike from the Via Rhôna: Voie verte de l’Espiguette to the natural parking area of the baronnets.
The natural parking area is free for cyclists and pedestrians and has a bicycle park.
The ground floor of the lighthouse is accessible to people with disabilities. A 360° model will allow you to admire the view from the top of the lighthouse.
We have 4 parking spaces adapted to vehicles carrying people with reduced mobility at the foot of the lighthouse. Access is on request via the intercom at the entrance gate accessible from the Route de l’Espiguette before the toll booth of the Baronnets natural parking area.
To make the most of your visit and discover the lighthouse in peace and quiet, away from the crowds, avoid the busy periods (summer). The Espiguette lighthouse can be visited all year round, even in winter.
What’s more, the natural parking area is completely free in winter !
The natural and protected site of Espiguette, classified as a Grand Site de France, is subject to a Natura 2000 habitat directive.

- Animals must be kept on a lead.
- Scooters and bicycles are not allowed. The natural parking area has a bicycle park.
- The Espiguette dunes are sensitive: smoking and littering are prohibited.
