About
The Phare de la Coubre stands proudly over the Charente-Maritime coast, its 64‑metre beacon guiding mariners for over a century. Visitors can climb 300 stone steps to the balcony for sweeping 360° views of the Gironde Estuary, surrounding forests, and the historic Cordouan Lighthouse. Inside, a small museum chronicles the lighthouse’s 19th‑century evolution with artifacts, a Fresnel lens, and vivid stories of the region’s maritime heritage.
