    Richard's lighthouse in Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac, was built in 1843. Like most lighthouses in the Gironde estuary, it is no longer in operation.
    It is a cylindrical lighthouse, not high enough despite its 18 meters. Its spiral staircase has 63 stone steps and leads to the cornice. In 1870 another metal lighthouse 30 meters high, whose light was more visible, was built. This lighthouse was in service until 1953 then demolished. The model of this lighthouse is displayed next to phare-richard.com

    Here is a very nice picnic area with many seating and tables. Sightseeing and tower rise with beautiful view also over the Gironde only to opening times.

    We cycled the short distance from Port de Richard to the lighthouse with children. The shoreline is very beautiful, but the path is only suitable for mountain bikers.
