Terre-Nègre Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Terre-Nègre lighthouse is a landmark forming a cylindrical tower a little over 26 meters high.

Located on the tip of Terre-Nègre, in the town of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, in Charente-Maritime, it is intended to mark the southern pass of the Gironde estuary and to signal the presence of a bench of dangerous sand, the "English bar".
