Phare de la Jument

The Jument lighthouse is at Ouessant, in the Iroise sea. It was erected between 1904 and 1911 thanks to the bequest of a member of the Paris Geographical Society, Charles-Eugène Potron, on the Ar Gazec reef ("the mare" in Breton). 47 m high, the lighthouse is recognised by its three red flashes every fifteen seconds and its foghorn. Its range is 19 miles. Automated in July 1991, the lighthouse is now remote-controlled from Créac'h.
