Situated not far from Port Maria in Quiberon, this lighthouse was born of changes in maritime traffic at the dawn of sea bathing.

A lighthouse like no other 

An emblem of local heritage, the 25-metre-high Port-Maria lighthouse is unique in that it stands right in the heart of Quiberon town centre. Built at the end of the 19th century, when Port-Maria became France's leading sardine port, the building was built in response to the increase in traffic to the islands due to the activity of fishermen and the proliferation of pleasure boats.
