Facts and practical information

The Richard lighthouse is located in Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac. Like most of the lighthouses of the Gironde estuary, it is no longer in activity.

It is a cylindrical lighthouse, not high enough despite its 18 meters, built in 1843. Its spiral staircase has 63 stone steps and leads to the cornice. In 1870 another metallic lighthouse of 30 meters height, whose light was more visible, was built. This lighthouse was in service until 1953 and then demolished. The model of this lighthouse is exposed next to it.
