A remarkable lighthouse inaugurated in 1897 in Penmarch, it offers a magnificent panorama over the Bay of Audierne.

The construction of this lighthouse is due to the Marquise de Blocqueville, daughter of Marshal Davout, Prince of Eckmühl. Inaugurated in 1897, its luminous range is 45 km. To reach the lantern and admire the interior in opaline and polished bronze, all you have to do is climb its 307 steps. At 65 metres above the ground, you will then enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Bay of Audierne. Did you know that Eckmühl has its world championship? Yes, the world championship of his ascent! The champions do it in less than a minute. Can you do better?

Joli endroit à visiter

Sans doute l'un des plus beaux et majestueux phare de Bretagne. 64 mètres de hauteur, plus de 300 marches pour un escalier avec une rampe magnifique en bronze et des murs intérieurs couverts de carreaux d'opaline bleue. La corniche au sommet dévoile une vue imprenable. Visite payante.

Un phare majestueux juste à côté de l'ancien plus petit. Malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu le visiter par manque de temps

Un endroit plein de charme. Depuis que le phare a été refait, un petit joyau à voir ou revoir. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas pu monter les marches car petit handicap ☹️

Ne manquez pas ce beau phare du pays bigouden !
Avant de pénétrer dans le phare ne manquez pas de lire les panneaux tous plus intéressants les uns que les autres !
Merci à Rudy pour l'accueil et les explications préalables.
Prenez ensuite le temps de gravir les 290 marches, plus celles qui permettent d'accéder à la plateforme pour admirer le paysage qui s'offre à vous à 360° ... ça décoiffe !
