Phare de Diélette
The Point light (Phare de Diélette) is located on the western breakwater of Diélette harbor in Flamanville, Normandy, France. The current cylindrical masonry tower was built in 1897 after several previous lights had been swept away by storms and high tides.
The green topped white round turret, measuring approximately 9 meters in height was automated in 1906 and despite no longer requiring resident keepers, remains an active aid to navigation.
Whilst the lighthouse structure itself is beautifully presented, the pier shows the wear-and-tear of operating for almost 130 years with standing the ferocity of the ocean.
