About Pierre Moine Lighthouse
Located on a shoal about 6 kilometers north of Île de Noirmoutier, the Pierre Moine lighthouse features a cylindrical stone tower standing 18 meters tall. The structure is painted with distinctive red and black horizontal bands. Its focal plane is 14 meters above the water, emitting a white light with two flashes every six seconds. This light has a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors, though the tower itself remains closed to the public. The nearest port is Pornic, approximately 5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns mariners of the shoal it stands upon, north of Île de Noirmoutier, and serves as a visual landmark in the Bay of Biscay.
