    Tips

    Pointe des Corbeaux is the easternmost point of the island. Over the centuries, constructions have succeeded on this point which looks towards the continent.



    From prehistory to the 17th century, a megalith stood there. In 1657, a redoubt (small independent fortification) was built there. Two centuries later, in 1862, it was razed to allow the construction of a lighthouse. The latter was dynamited in 1944 to be rebuilt six years later.



    Notably, the last lighthouse keeper was a female keeper.
