Dating from 1905 the current lighthouse, one of the most powerful in France, replaced one of the earliest electric lighthouses which fell into the sea as a result of erosion.

A similar fate may await this one... it is was constructed nearly a mile from the site of the old lighthouse, but is now only 250 metres from the sea!
