Welcome to the Edge of Brittany

1m 15s

Île Vierge Lighthouse • Section 1 of 5

You are standing on the rugged edge of the coastline known as the Coast of Legends, looking out toward a tiny six-hectare islet that holds a monumental achievement of marine engineering. The Île Vierge lighthouse is not just another beacon; it is officially the tallest cut-stone lighthouse in the entire world, reaching eighty-two point five meters into the sky. As you look out from the shore of Lilia in Plouguerneau, you might notice two distinct towers standing side by side. One is a shorter, square white tower from the mid-nineteenth century, and the other is the dark, towering giant built at the dawn of the twentieth century that has become the iconic symbol of northern Finistère.
