Kereon, one of the many lighthouses (48 metres high) to be found along the French coast. La Phare de Kéréon stands some 7 kilometres from the famous La Jument lighthouse and marks the channel between the islands of Ouessant and Molène and dangerous shallows towards the Breton coast. The tower that shines a sector light (which is why you can still see a bit of red in this apparent black-and-white photo) here, in the Atlantic, was built between 1907 and 1916. The light was oil-fired until 1972. Kereon remains the very last French 'Hell' until 2004, an isolated lighthouse in the open sea. This lighthouse is also called 'The Palace', because the inside is beautifully decorated (inlaid floors and matching furniture) with Hungarian oak. The lighthouse cannot be visited.
