The Calais lighthouse, erected in 1848, stands proudly on the banks of the English Channel. With its 271 steps, it offers visitors a spectacular panoramic view of the port of Calais, the city and, on a clear day, the English coast. It is classified as a historic monument and remains an iconic landmark for navigation as well as tourism.

The Phare de Calais was originally built in 1848 and designed by the architect Léonce Reynaud. In 1883 it was electrified, and in 1987 it was automated. Although there are no longer any physical lighthouse keepers, technicians from the Phares et Balises still ensure the proper functioning of the lighthouse. This lighthouse replaced the Tour du Guet from the 13th century.

The 55 meter high Calais lighthouse has a stunning location right in the city between residential buildings and across from a church.
His position on a hill recalls that he stands on a bastion of the former fortifications of Calais.
A former navigator's point of reference was the tip of the Tour du Guet before the current lighthouse was commissioned in 1848.
The lighthouse can also be visited if you are not afraid of the 271 steps.
