Solitary watchtower in the Passage du Fromveur – between Ouessant and Molène on the rock Men Tensel.
Facts:
• Construction period: 1907–1916
• Height: 47.25 m · Range: up to 17 sm. (comparable to approximately 15 stories)
• Automated: 2004 – last French "hell" lighthouse (isolated in open sea) to be converted to remote control.
Points of interest:
• Nickname "Le Palace": because of its unusually elegant interior with mosaics in the stairwell, wood paneling from Hungarian oak and parquet with inlaid compass rose.
• The Fromveur is one of the strongest current passages in Brittany (partly ~9 kn) – hence the spectacular waves at the tower.
