The Pontusval lighthouse in Brittany is a symbol of hope and safety for sailors and ships navigating the waters off the west coast of France. Located at the tip of Beg-Pol, in the commune of Plounéour-Brignogan-Plages, this majestic lighthouse stands as a symbol of maritime tradition and navigation. Founded in 1868, the lighthouse has been guiding sailors to port for over 150 years, and remains one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Brittany. The Pontusval lighthouse was built to provide a link between the Île Vierge lighthouse and theÎle de Batz lighthouse, along this rocky coastline where shipwrecks were unfortunately frequent. Marie-Paule Le Guen was its keeper for 35 years. Although the main function of lighthouses is to ensure maritime safety, some of them, such as Pontusval, were used as bases by the German army during the Second World War. Indeed, a vestige of a blockhouse can still be seen in the garden!
