Cap Fréhel Lighthouse
Lighthouse in Saint-Malo

The Cap Fréhel Lighthouse is a striking maritime landmark on the Emerald Coast, standing at 33 meters tall. Built in 1950, it replaced an earlier lighthouse destroyed during World War II. The lighthouse offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline, including Fort La Latte, Saint-Malo, and the Bay of Saint-Brieuc.
Located next to the Vauban Tower, which dates back to 1695, the Cap Fréhel Lighthouse is considered one of the most powerful in France, with a range of 110 kilometers in clear weather. Visitors can climb to the top for an unforgettable perspective of the rugged cliffs and the vast Atlantic.
The lighthouse is open to visitors from April to November, with seasonal hours varying throughout the year. Parking is available nearby, and accessibility options are provided for visitors with reduced mobility.
