This famous 38m-high red and white lighthouse, built in 1886, is one of Ouistreham’s landmarks.

Get a bird's eye view of Ouistreham's famous red-and-white lighthouse, the town's landmark and a source of pride for its inhabitants. It was commissioned in 1905 to replace its predecessor, built in 1886, and automated in 1993. Standing 38 metres high and visible for 16 nautical miles around, it keeps a watchful eye on the Orne estuary. It alerts sailors to the dangerous rocks of Calvados, 7.5 miles away, thanks to a red sector showing the direction. Don't hesitate to climb the 171 steps to access the optic. The view is breathtaking.

Visité dans le cadre des Journées du Patrimoine avec un guide sympathique qui nous a appris que c'est un normand Auguste Fresnel qui a inventé la lentille qui guide les marins à travers le monde. 171 marches plus tard, un beau panorama (Merci le Soleil et le temps dégagé !) sur le Port, la ville de Ouistreham et la Pointe du Siège. A voir absolument.
