This is a famous one, and a rebuilt one, too (it was destroyed in World War II). It's on the northern Brittany coast of France, north of Lannion. If that helps. On Google Maps, I had to zoom way out just to see where it is in relation to the rest of France.
It's on a rocky section, and blends in nicely with the coast. That makes it a great drone video subject, and I've got one of those below.
Here's the stats: I went back to the esteemed Lighthouse Directory for them.
"1948 (station established 1860). Active; focal plane 26 m (85 ft); red or white light, depending on direction, occulting once every 4 s. 15 m (49 ft) medieval-style square pink granite tower with castellated gallery and a small lantern. Tower unpainted, lantern painted red. ... That [original] lighthouse was destroyed during World War II, and the replacement was designed by architects Auffret et Odorico. Located on a rocky promontory at the northeastern entrance to the harbor of Ploumanac'h."
Video below, and then pictures.
