About

The La Coubre Lighthouse (French: Phare de la Coubre, pronounced [faʁ də la kubʁ]) is a historic lighthouse that is still in service in La Tremblade, in Charente-Maritime, in France.

La Coubre is 64 metres (210 ft) high and is the highest in the department. A museum tells the history of the different lighthouses that have existed in the region. It is possible to climb to the top from February to November.
