About St.-Valéry-en-Caux Lighthouse
Also known as: St.-Valéry-en-Caux (Jetée de l'Ouest)
This white, cylindrical masonry tower stands 12 meters tall at the end of the west jetty in Saint-Valéry-en-Caux. Built in 1882, it emits a single green flash every 6 seconds from a focal height of 13 meters. The structure features a lantern and gallery, both painted green, atop the white tower. The lighthouse offers a geographic range of 11.3 nautical miles. While the site is open to the public, access to the tower itself is restricted. The lighthouse is situated approximately 50 km east of Fécamp and the same distance west of Dieppe.
Why it matters: This lighthouse precisely marks the entrance to the harbor of Saint-Valéry-en-Caux and the west jetty, aiding local fishing fleets and recreational sailors.
