The Môle des Noires Lighthouse is a distinctive maritime landmark in Saint-Malo, located at the end of the Môle des Noires breakwater. Built to guide ships safely into the harbor, the lighthouse stands as a sentinel at the entrance to the port, offering stunning views of the Emerald Coast and the walled city.

The breakwater itself was constructed to protect Saint-Malo’s harbor from strong tides and waves. Walking along the Môle des Noires provides a unique perspective of the city’s fortifications, with the lighthouse marking the final point before the open sea. It is a popular spot for visitors looking to admire the coastline, watch passing boats, or enjoy a peaceful moment by the water.

With its green lantern, the lighthouse contrasts beautifully against the sea and sky, making it a picturesque feature of Saint-Malo’s maritime landscape. Whether viewed from the ramparts or visited up close, the Môle des Noires Lighthouse remains an iconic part of the city’s nautical heritage.
