Phare de la Jument
Beautiful Lighthouses
Phare de la Jument is a lighthouse located off the coast of Brittany, France. It stands on a rocky islet and is famous for dramatic waves frequently crashing against it. One unique detail is the iconic photograph capturing a huge wave enveloping the lighthouse while a keeper stands in the doorway, unharmed. Erected in 1911, it was built to prevent shipwrecks in the rough seas known as Mer d'Iroise.
