Le phare de Cordouan - a photo on Flickriver

            Construit de la fin du XVIe au début du XVIIe siècle, de 1584 à 1611, il est le plus ancien phare de France encore en activité. Appelé parfois le « Versailles de la mer », le « phare des rois » ou encore le « roi des phares », il est le premier phare classé au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 1862.
Depuis juillet 2021, il est inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.

Built from the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 17th century, from 1584 to 1611, it is the oldest lighthouse in France still in operation. Sometimes called the "Versailles of the sea", the "lighthouse of kings" or the "king of lighthouses", it was the first lighthouse to be classified as a historical monument by the 1862 list.
Since July 2021, it has been listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
