Phare de Risban

Rising 63m high, this automated, first order port lighthouse is the highest of its kind in France (its beam can be seen from 60km away). The lighthouse dates from 1843; you can climb 276 steps to its outdoor platform for views over the port, town and, when visibility is good, the English coast.
