Beautiful restoration, unexpected architecture, nice sailing and special thanks to the office lady who called me to make sure I would make it on time and waited for me with the ticket to make sure I could board even though I was a few minutes late. Very much appreciated! All in all I am super happy I could make it!

Amazing moment! You take a boat trip to the sea then a boat-truck ride to the lighthouse. The boat floats then rides the bottom of the ocean. Depending of the tides, you may have to walk 10 minutes on the sand/bottom of the ocean at some point to reach the boat-truck, that was a unique experience! The lighthouse is beautiful, the last one inhabited in the world. The wardens are also giides, friendly and funny. A MUST DO!

Beautiful building that is so much more than your everyday lighthouse where you can only climb the steps and nothing more. Accessible only at low tide, getting here is quite the adventure. The rocks around the lighthouse are a good place to go looking for mussels, oysters, anemones and crabs, and the road that become accessible makes it seem as you though could walk all the way back to shore. The only thing that is less nice is that, once you are done and just want to go home, the boat ride back seems to take an eternity.

An absolute must visit for anyone visiting Bordeaux or the Médoc region. There's a reason this lighthouse is one of only two in the world to have received UNESCO World Heritage status! It's absolutely stunning on the interior. Luckily my son and I can both understand French so didn't have any transaction issues with the guardians of the lighthouse, who live and when on-site and are a fountain of knowledge. I'm not sure if they speak any other languages, but even if they don't then the signs and posters are helpfully in both French and English. The only negative point of my trip was that the company you use to travel to the lighthouse if coming from Port Médoc (La Bohème Vedette) only gave us one hour to complete the tour before, but I could have easily spent two hours on this magnificent lighthouse!

Absolutely stunning! The most amazing lighthouse I've ever seen. Right out in the ocean and takes a while to get there by boat. The interior is beautiful and includes a chapel and king's room complete with fireplaces. The view from the top - the ocean in all directions is stunning. Not to be missed!

Incredible memory. Beautiful inside, a must see! We found a guy to take us there by boat (private experience) much better. Loved that day.

Very nice place to visit, exit the Royan Harbor first, then climb the rocks around to end in the magnificent lighthouse, built for a king and you can see it.

A fair bit of trouble to get there, and an interesting place to visit. Recommend

From start to finish an amazing experience! We booked with Phare de Siren. A well orchestrated crew from Captain on down. Highly recommend.

The most beautiful lighthouse I’ve ever seen

Excellent fun.
