Dating from 1906 and still in operation, the La Martre Lighthouse has a unique wooden structure. In addition, the original timing system (cable and weights) still controls the light as it rotates in its pool of mercury.
A permanent exhibit in an adjacent building introduces you to the expertise involved, from the 1700s to today, in designing lighthouse lanterns and tells you more about the evolution of lighthouses and their importance to navigators.
