About Le Palais Môle du Sud Lighthouse
This masonry lighthouse, built in 1891, marks the end of the mole enclosing the southeast side of Le Palais harbor on Belle-Île. The structure consists of a 10-meter masonry tower topped with a red lantern and gallery. Its light emits a quick-flashing red signal. Located at the principal town of Le Palais, the lighthouse stands just 0.1 kilometers from the nearest port. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for maritime traffic entering Le Palais, the main port of Belle-Île. Its specific light characteristic helps delineate the end of the mole, guiding ferries and local vessels into the busy harbor.
