Three lighthouses have followed one another on the cliff which recedes under the repeated assaults of tides and storms. The old lighthouse from 1775 remained in service until April 22, 1958, when the current lighthouse was lit. After that, the old tower did not survive for long. Shaken by the blasting of 1944, it did not resist the sliding of the ground and, from 1960 to 1968, gradually collapsed. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phare_d%27Ailly
