Yes, very beautiful hike, we slept a weekend nearby with the van

The hike up these cliffs is incredibly impressive, as many have described. The trail has an alpine character, requires sturdy footwear, and surefootedness in some places.

What a view of the rugged cliffs. Simply breathtaking.

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).

It is possible to cycle on the beach when it is not too crowded.
