Information
Louët island lighthouse
Standing on the end of a steep rocky islet, the thin white figure of the lighthouse is one of the standard pictures of the Breton coasts.
It was the very young and bright engineer Fenoux, a graduate from the Paris school of Civil engineering who was entrusted with the project of construction of the Louët island lighthouse in 1857.
The light range sits 16m above the high equinoctial tides.
The first lighting took place on the night between 31st March and 1st April 1860.
Today, the lighthouse is automated. The keeper's house has been closed. The island is not accessible at low tide.
The best spots to see the lighthouse:
• from the coast, at the nearest, on Pen al Lann headland.
• in summer, from a cruise boat: excursion at sea departing from Carantec
• from the sea: kayak, catamaran...
