August 2010. Ar Men means "rock" in Breton. This 37-metre high lighthouse is the furthest west in France and started operating in 1891. It was made automatic in 1990 when the last lighthouse keepers left this "hell of hells".
The lighthouse is a near-universal symbol of safety and guidance that has helped mariners find their way home since ancient times. Although they are gradually outliving their usefulness, they are still epic monuments to human ingenuity and to their own resilience. Because August 7th is National Lighthouse Day in the U.S., we decided to share some amazing lighthouse photos with our readers.

This was a private swap with Juja of Germany. The lighthouse on the front is from France. The stamps on the back are also lighthouses of Germany.

Construit en 1904 sans les moyens de notre époque, le phare de la Jument à Ouessant parait bien fragile face à l'assaut des énormes déferlantes malgré ses 47 mètres. Nos ancêtres étaient vraiment de grands bâtisseurs, ils savaient construire pour durer eux.

La phare de Lanvaon est allumée en 1868 dans l'alignement du phare de l'île Wrac'h , en remplacement du feu placé jusqu'à cette date sur le clocher de Plouguerneau et qui était trop éloigné de la côte. Ce feu fixe et clignotant érigé sur la rive nord de l'Aber-Wrac'h, entre Plouguerneau et Lilia, à 3,5km des côtes, indique l'entrée de l'aber. Il a une portée d'environ 25 km, et a été électrifié en 1960. De jour, il fait partie de ces phares-amers basés à terre.
