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.
