Pointe de Grave
Built in 1860 and located on the Pointe de Grave in Le Verdon sur Mer (Gironde), the Grave lighthouse is very distinctive, with its square white tower and black corner chains. At the top of the lighthouse, an orientation table helps you spot the surrounding monuments and natural areas. - At its foot, a museum houses an interesting collection of objects relating to the Cordouan lighthouse and the Lighthouses and Beacons service. - The last wooden launch used to relieve the keepers at Cordouan is on display in the park.

If you are in any way responsible for one or more lighthouses, you can contact us to have these lighthouses included on this website. The goal is to have as many lighthouses from all coastal nations in Europe placed on the map, so that many visitors can enjoy navigating the map or physically visiting the lighthouse stations.
