Lighthouse that measures 51 meters and has 271 steps in Calais.

A lighthouse existed on top of the Watchtower since 1818. The one we know today was decided by Louis-Philippe in his plan to improve French ports. Put into service in 1848, the monument resisted the bombing of the city during the Second World War. It is 51 metres high and you will have to climb its 271 steps to enjoy the view. On a clear day, the range of the lamp is 43 kilometres! At the lighthouse, visits are made by friendly young people who are really passionate about the work of the Opale Tour association.

Magnifique panorama
Prenant le temps de gravir les marches, la vue en haut est magnifique sur toute la ville, le port et la mer. L exposition au rez de chaussée est également très intéressante

grimper jusqu'en haut du phare
Sacrée ascension mais qui en vaut la peine. En effet, à son sommet vous pourrez admirer toute la ville et la mer à l'horizon

Nous n'avons pas eu le courage de monter les 271 marches. Néanmoins, l'accès au petit musée situé au rez de chaussée est en accès libre. Il est très intéressant, montre différentes méthodes d'orientation, des petits jeux, et raconte de belles histoires de phares. Un jeune homme passionné se tient à votre disposition pour répondre à toutes vos questions !
