Le Phare de l'Armandèche - Les Sables d'Olonne
Le Phare de l'Armandèche est situé en extrémité du quartier de la Chaume. S'y rendre permet d'effectuer une grande et agréable promenade dans le quartier de la Chaume. Mais ce phare ne se visitait pas, du moins le jour où je m'y suis rendue.

Un des derniers phare construit en France en 1968 , il ne se visite pratiquement pas . Il est sur la cote dans le quartier de la Chaume et la portée de son éclairage est de plus de 40km . Son escalier en colimaçon est impressionnant
