The Kermorvan lighthouse, located in Le Conquet (Finistère) welcomes visitors throughout the summer.
The famous square building over 20 m high has indeed reopened its doors to the public after remaining inaccessible for 30 years.
During this period, the lighthouse built in 1843 was renovated, says France 3 Bretagne.
Its lighting, for example, was automated in 1994. This system had been removed from the building and placed under cover during the Second World War.
The tower was however finally one of the only ones not to be the target of bombardments in 1944.
Renovation and securing
