About Fécamp Digue Sud Lighthouse
Also known as: Fécamp Digue Sud (Feu Antérieur)
Fécamp Digue Sud is a gray concrete semielliptical tower built in 1952, standing 10 meters tall with its focal plane at 14 meters. It is located at the end of the south pier, marking the entrance to the harbor of Fécamp. The light characteristic is a quick green flash. This structure replaced an earlier lighthouse destroyed during World War II. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as the front light for the Fécamp harbor entrance range, guiding vessels into the west-facing port partially sheltered by Cap Fagnet.
