About

Planier Light is an active lighthouse on the small Île de Planier (Planier island), 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. At a height of 216 feet (66 m) it is the twelfth-tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world. The island is only accessible by boat, and both the site and the tower are closed to the public.
