The Chassiron Lighthouse is an iconic lighthouse located at the northern tip of Île d'Oléron, on the Atlantic coast of France. Built in 1834, it is one of the oldest lighthouses in the region. The lighthouse is easily recognizable by its tall, black and white tower with vertical black stripes on a white background, standing at 46 meters above sea level. It was constructed to guide maritime navigation in this treacherous area. Visitors can explore the site, climb to the top of the tower for panoramic views, and visit a museum dedicated to the history of navigation and lighthouses. The surrounding region is known for its picturesque coastal landscapes, beaches, and hiking trails, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
