It was in the 17th century that its construction was decided and built. It is therefore one of the oldest French lighthouses still in service. But it was no longer enough to mark the entrance to the English Channel: a semaphore is now watching, about 100 metres lower, accompanied by a more effective radar. You can climb the 104 steps of the Stiff lighthouse to enjoy a breathtaking view of the island! Like five other lighthouses in Finistère, it has been classified as a Historic Monument since 2010. Namely: Stiff Bay is the main place to live, after Lampaul. It lives at the rhythm of the arrivals of boats making the connections with the continent and of the few fishing and material transport boats.

La visite guidée du phare lui même nous apprend beaucoup de choses sur le Stiff mais aussi de manière plus large sur les autres phares de l'île, sur la vie menée là et aussi sur l'évolution des modes d'éclairage en fonction des découvertes en la matière. Superbe vue arrivés au plus haut.
