CORDOVAN LIGHTHOUSE
This Atlantic jewel, listed as a historic monument, was built at the end of the century
This Atlantic jewel, listed as a historic monument, was built at the end of the 16th century. There's only one way to get there: by boat. The lighthouse tour and boat trip can be booked at the same time with one of the approved companies. After a 45-minute crossing, you'll be delighted to climb the 301 steps leading up to the lantern. The panorama over the Gironde estuary is fantastic. Cordouan, the world's oldest working lighthouse and the only lighthouse at sea open to visitors, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021.

Déjà la traversée est une belle sortie, avec le bateau plus la barge pour être débarqué au pied du phare. Et la visite est exceptionnelle, guidé par un des gardes qui offre son expérience et sa culture aux visiteurs. Et la vue a 360 en haut est extraordinaire (et l'ascension ne présente aucune difficulté)
