A trip to an absolutely unique site

An architectural jewel designed to glorify the kings of France, the Cordouan lighthouse has been guiding sailors for over 400 years.

This 4-hour excursion begins with a cruise to the mouth of the Gironde estuary. Disembarkation at the lighthouse is by amphibious boat. The lighthouse keepers will welcome you. You’ll have to climb 301 steps to the lantern before enjoying an extraordinary panorama, suspended between sky and sea.
