Automated lighthouse of 75 metres high, with 52 windows and 356 steps at Gatteville-le-Phare.
75 metres high, 356 steps, 7,400 tons of granite... Don’t hesitate: try to climb this Cotentin watchtower. From level to level, the 52 windows give you a special light, offering you little by little a breathtaking view of the land and above the sea. Every year, 30,000 brave souls set out to climb the site. Since 1984, the lighthouse has been automated. In stormy weather or when the wind blows at 50 km/h, the lighthouse is closed, which is normal given the altitude. The access to the lighthouse is not free, but the price is definitely modest.

349 marches jusqu'a la première terrasse. L escalier est facile et vous serez récompensé par la vue a couper le souffle ! Les quelques marches supplémentaires vous font découvrir la lentille du phare. C'est extrêmement rare. Le gardien vous expliquera tout cela fort sympathiquement.
