About Huchet Lighthouse
The Huchet daymark, built in 1890, is a square skeletal tower standing 8 meters tall. It carries two large triangular daymarks, pointed upwards. This structure was designed to provide visual reference for mariners navigating the coastline during daylight hours. Its distinctive design was intended to be easily identifiable against the backdrop of the coast. While the tower itself is closed to the public, the site is accessible, allowing visitors to view this unique navigational aid.
Why it matters: The Huchet daymark provided essential visual guidance for ships navigating the French coast during daylight. Its triangular markers aided mariners in identifying specific points along the shoreline for safe passage.
