Tips
The lighthouse of La Gacholle is located in the department of Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, on the sea dike, between the ponds of the Dame, the Tampan and Galabert.
Built at the end of the 19th century to facilitate access to Beauduc's anchorage, it was partially destroyed during the Second World War and put back into service in 1948. The building has a square tower masonry, eighteen meters smooth high.translated by

Behind the lighthouse is a rest area with shade and a restroom. It doesn't meet the usual standards, but it's better than nothing.
