Built in 1854 at a time when Paimboeuf was the advanced port of Nantes, before being replaced by Saint-Nazaire. It is the only lighthouse on the Loire and the most "land-based" in France because it is 10 km from the ocean.

Nice biketail winding along the Loire river beach, passing the small light house that guides ships up the navigable channel in the wide river

This lighthouse has the distinction of being the only lighthouse built inland (10 kilometers from the coast, in this case)
