Pointe des Corbeaux Lighthouse

About

The Pointe des Corbeaux Lighthouse is a French lighthouse, located on the eponymous point on the Île d'Yeu. Located at the extreme southeastern end of the island, it was constructed in 1950 to replace an earlier tower destroyed during World War II. Along with the Île d'Yeu lighthouse, it is one of two lighthouses on the island to have been designed by Maurice Durand; construction of both was completed in the same year.
