About Frontignan Digue Est Lighthouse
This concrete tripod tower stands 8 meters tall at the end of the east breakwater in Frontignan, a town east of Sète. Its focal height is 15 meters, and it emits a green flashing light every 12 seconds, visible for 11.9 nautical miles. The skeletal structure, painted white, is situated 0.6 kilometers from the port of Sète. This active navigational aid was constructed with concrete. The light's design is similar to the nearby Épi Dellon light.
Why it matters: The light's green flashes guide vessels around the eastern breakwater, ensuring safe entry into the port for local fishing fleets and recreational craft. Its architectural similarity to the Épi Dellon light demonstrates a consistent design for breakwater markers in the region.
