Location & Light Range
About La Chrétienne Lighthouse
Located on a stone reef approximately 1 kilometer offshore southwest of Agay, La Chrétienne is a 13-meter high cylindrical tower constructed of stone. It features yellow and black bands. The light, from a focal height of 10 meters, produces a single white flash every 15 seconds, with a geographic range of 10.4 nautical miles. Visitors can access the site, but the tower remains closed to the public. This structure serves to warn vessels of the underwater reef it designates.
Why it matters: The La Chrétienne light serves as a navigation aid, alerting vessels to the submerged reef southwest of Agay. Its specific flash pattern offers a distinct signal for vessels navigating these coastal areas, reducing the chance of grounding. The tower's contrasting yellow and black bands also function as a visual marker during daylight hours for those at sea.
