Lighthouses of France's North Coast
France has a long coastline and a rich lighthouse heritage. This page lists lighthouses of the northernmost part of the country, including the départements of Somme, Pas de Calais, and Nord. This region faces the Pas de Calais (Strait of Dover) and its approaches from La Manche (the English Channel) to the west and from the North Sea to the north.
A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire, and used as an aid to navigation for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals , reefs , safe entries to harbors, and can also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and replacement by modern electronic navigational devices. [ edit ] Lighthouse technology
Lighthouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dressés droits vers les cieux , les phares indiquent aux marins leur position. Bien que n'étant ni gardien de phare, ni marin, j'ai toujours eu une profonde attirance pour ces bâtiments. C'est à l'un d'entre eux, Eckmuhl, sis à Saint Pierre, sur la Pointe de Penmarc'h (FRANCE) que je dois cette passion. Une place spéciale lui est faite ici.

Lighthouse Directory
March 2 . Scotland's historic Covesea Skerries Light has been deactivated after 165 years of service, and Fred Fox reports that the Strathy Point Light has also been discontinued as of today. Founded in 1999 (during the relocation of North Carolina's Cape Hatteras lighthouse), the Lighthouse Directory is a tool for research and study concerning lighthouses and efforts to preserve those lighthouses. The Directory provides a brief compilation of basic data for each lighthouse with links to other reliable information available on the Internet.
