Amidst the rugged coastal landscape of Ouessant, an impressive landmark rises: the Créac'h lighthouse. With its distinctive white and black horizontal stripes that extend over a height of 47 meters, it forms an unmistakable image and is at the same time one of the most impressive lighthouses in the Ponant Islands. The Breton name "Créac'h" already indicates its position and means "height, foothills". It has served as a valuable landmark for seafarers since it was built in 1863. In 1888 it was electrified, making it the brightest lighthouse in all of Europe. With an impressive range of around 60 kilometers, or 32 nautical miles, it is also one of the most powerful lighthouses in the world. But the lighthouse is not only impressive from the outside. At the foot of the tower is the Museum of Lighthouses and Beacons, which introduces every visitor to the fascinating history and functionality of the lighthouses. In the adjacent former living and working rooms of the tower, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of sea signs and learn more about their importance for shipping. A special highlight nearby is the “Ecomusee”, which is a must for culture lovers. But although the lighthouse is now fully automated and can no longer be entered, it remains a living testimony to the region's maritime history and culture. This emblematic lighthouse has been a listed building since 2011 and is a reminder of the times when it guided ships safely through the waters between the Atlantic and the English Channel. The line between the Phare du Créac'h and the British Lizard Lighthouse also marks the start and finish line for the prestigious Trophée Jules Verne, which is awarded for the fastest circumnavigation of the world.

The fort of Calgrac'h (Kernic in French), is the remnant of a construction of 1862 dedicated to defending France from threats from across the Channel. Now in ruins, it is possible to enter. For the pleasure of the eyes, dozens of graffiti cover the interior walls.

From this small coastal path, along the solid blocks of granite, the views of the island of Keller follow one another. There I noted with regard to geology in one of my notebooks: "The features of the coastal landscape draw an incomprehensible geography. Yet the mind wanders there with as much ease as the seagull facing the wind. The rocky prominences serve as shelters and landmarks. I suggest that the islanders even used it to build their villages. They constitute an inexhaustible refuge where everyone cultivates their inspiration. They provide the garden of the soul with a nurturing Eden, literally and figuratively."

The Stiff lighthouse, built by Vaubant and commissioned in 1700 is still in service. The range of its lantern is 24 nautical miles, or almost 45 kilometers. The lighthouse was classified as a historic monument in 2011. It is now possible to go to its summit (entrance fee) to enjoy a 360 degree panorama, on the island of Ouessant on the one hand and on the coast of Brittany on the other hand.
