About Les Chiens-Perrins Lighthouse
Also known as: Les Chiens-Perrins (Pointe du But)
Les Chiens-Perrins lighthouse stands on a rocky ledge approximately 800 meters offshore from Pointe du But, the northwestern point of an island. The cylindrical stone tower, built in 1935, reaches a height of 19 meters, with its light positioned at 16 meters above sea level. Its exterior is marked by black and yellow horizontal bands. The light emits quick flashes of nine white or green lights every 15 seconds, depending on the direction. A small mast at the top of the tower displays the light. The nearest port is Port-Joinville, located 2.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels away from the hazardous rocky ledge off Pointe du But. Its distinctive black and yellow tower serves as a landmark for local mariners.
