1. A granite giant
The Île Vierge lighthouse
Exactly 365 steps! It’s a bit of a climb up the spiral staircase, past walls covered in azure blue opaline, to the top of the Île Vierge lighthouse in Plouguerneau: it’s the tallest freestone lighthouse in the world. This Kersanton granite giant with its bright white light is worth the effort. The view from the 82.5 metre summit over the Abers area is impressive. When you arrive at the lighthouse by boat you can imagine you’re the relief lighthouse-keeper… although these days the light is completely automated.
Open from April to October
