C'est une visite sportive mais nous sommes récompensés par la vue. Le phare mériterait d'être restauré car de nombreuses fissures sont visibles entre les carreaux d'opaline.

The lighthouse of La Coubre is located at the northern end of the estuary of the Gironde River. Built in 1905, it has a height of 64m. At the origin, it was at 1.5 km/2km shore, but because of the erosion of the coast, it is at 250m from the ocean nowadays. The lamp with its system of lens has a range of 50 km (approximately). It is necessary to climb the 300 steps to reach until it and to profit from a superb sight on the ocean, La Palmyre and the forest of La Coubre. The interior of the lighthouse is covered with blue opaline.
It is a sporting visit but we are rewarded by the sight. The lighthouse would must be restored bus many cracks are visible between the squares of opaline.
