A stay on the rugged, northern French coast has long been associated with cold plunges into the deep blue, charming towns and villages and - most importantly - crêpes. Now, you can make your stay even more characterful by renting a lighthouse right on the seafront.
After losing their keepers in recent years, many of Brittany’s lighthouses are being snapped up by holiday accommodation developers. The converted lighthouses are perfect for sea lovers, couples and anyone who’s looking to watch ocean storms from 30 metres above.
“Here we’re 30 metres above sea level,” explains Valérie Bergeron, owner of Kerbel Lighthouse. “25 metres from the ground and 30 metres above sea level. And this is where you sleep, at the top."
