Installed in 2024 on a rock at the foot of the lighthouse, Christophe Charbonnel's statue of Ulysses blends mythological power with maritime force. Part homage to the Vendée Globe, part evocation of the sirens, it anchors the myth in the Vendée landscape. A monumental work that divides opinion, but leaves no one indifferent.
