Le Phare du cap Camarat

Dominated by Camarat lighthouse, the second in France for the height of the light above sea level (130 meters) source, it owes its name to a manor of the fourteenth century. For safety reasons, the lighthouse cant be visited anymore. Classified in 1993 as a natural site, it dates of 1838. Electricity replaced petrol in 1946.
