About Chausey Lighthouse
The Chausey Lighthouse is a 19th-century granite tower located on the southeast point of Grande Île, the main island of the Chausey archipelago. Built between 1846-1847 and first lit on May 27, 1848, the lighthouse was designed by Léonce Reynaud, director of France's lighthouse service. 5-meter square tower was constructed using blue-gray granite quarried locally on Chausey.

The lighthouse was built entirely from granite quarried on Chausey itself — the same stone used to construct the Mont-Saint-Michel abbey, the fortifications of Saint-Malo, and paving stones for Parisian streets. The local quarries were so productive that Chausey granite became one of Normandy's most exported building materials in the 19th century.
