The original lighthouse was built in 1775 to protect the dangerous waters around Pointe de Barfleur, which were known for numerous shipping disasters, including the sinking of the "White Ship" in 1120. Since the first tower did not meet the requirements of the 1825 national coastal lighting program, construction began on a new, larger tower in 1829. Completed in 1835 under the direction of architect Charles-Félix Morice de la Rue, it replaced the old tower, which was then used as an optical telegraph. The new tower is made of approximately 11,000 granite blocks and has 365 steps—symbolizing the days of a year. It also has 52 windows (representing the weeks) and 12 floors (representing the months).

A beautiful fishing port, with market day, today on Tuesday. Bars, bistros, and restaurants invite you to linger.

The old granite harbor is the heart of Barfleur and is still used by small fishing boats.

A beautiful little fishing village that is worth a visit.

Saint-Nicolas Church, an imposing granite church with a striking tower right by the sea.

Impressive lighthouse, possibility to climb and have a spectacular view

Very pretty fishing port, very pleasant to walk around there

The climb to the top of La Pernelle hill requires a good level of practice and, above all, training. I recommend the climb from Quettehou (the road starts behind the Intermarché supermarket), which is much quieter from a traffic perspective.
