About Amphion-les-Bains Lighthouse
A white, square cylindrical skeletal tower with a lantern and gallery once stood approximately 7 meters tall at the elbow of a breakwater in Amphion-les-Bains, France. Located on the central south shore of Lake Geneva, this structure served as a navigational aid for vessels on the lake. The resort community of Amphion-les-Bains is situated across the water from Morges, Switzerland. Although charting information may still indicate its presence, modern imagery confirms the lighthouse has been removed. The site remains accessible, allowing visitors to see where the structure once guided mariners.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provided guidance for local boat traffic and recreational vessels navigating the breakwater area at Amphion-les-Bains on Lake Geneva.
