Built with white limestone by engineer Louis de Foix and later remodeled by engineer Joseph Teulere, this elegant structure has long been regarded as a masterpiece in maritime signaling. Located in a remote destination, amongst a shallow, rocky plateau, the breathtaking lighthouse is an iconic sight to see.
