Lighthouse of the Week, November 5-11, 2023: Phare de Pontusval, France

 

The coasts of Brittany and Normandy in France have several lighthouses, and I think I'll return here for one of the older historical ones shortly (perhaps next week).  This one is more contemporary. 

It's located HERE.

I can tell you by looking at the pictures that there are lots of rocks around it.  The Lighthouse Directory will provide more information.

"1869. Active; focal plane 16 m (52 ft); white or red light, depending on direction, occulting three times every 12 s. 15 m (49 ft) square cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery, attached to the front of a 1-story stone keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white, lantern and gallery black with a white roof."

 That's short and sweet.  Pictures and a short-and-sweet video are below.
