A remarkable lighthouse inaugurated in 1897 in Penmarch, it offers a magnificent panorama over the Bay of Audierne.

The construction of this lighthouse is due to the Marquise de Blocqueville, daughter of Marshal Davout, Prince of Eckmühl. Inaugurated in 1897, its luminous range is 45 km. To reach the lantern and admire the interior in opaline and polished bronze, all you have to do is climb its 307 steps. At 65 metres above the ground, you will then enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Bay of Audierne. Did you know that Eckmühl has its world championship? Yes, the world championship of his ascent! The champions do it in less than a minute. Can you do better?

Passage presque obligatoire si l'on se rend à Penmarch. Le phare offre une belle vue panoramique. Nous nous y sommes arrêtés après randonnée très sympathique le long de la côte.

307 marches et une belle vue
L'entrée n'est pas très chère... pour les 307 marches et ensuite une superbe vue de la pointe de Penmarch...
Il faut y aller lors d'un beau temps et pas trop venté....
Il y a des petites corniches, régulièrement, lors de la montée et de la descente de ce phare. Des petites haltes.

Ça monte...
Un lieu insolite qu'il faut visiter si vous passez dans le pays bigouden. Plus de 300 marches à gravir pour les plus courageux; la vue n'est pas panoramique puisque le sommet du phare n'est pas ouvert à la visite mais elle donne tout de même le vertige.
