After climbing the 163 steps, the panorama is a real reward. The current lighthouse has been lit since 1835. At 37 metres high, its white light illuminates the ocean every 15 seconds. With a range of 29 miles, it indicates the route to follow to enter the Brest Narrows. Electrified in 1932, it was automated in 1996. Its last keeper left in 2006. The Saint-Mathieu lighthouse was listed as a historic monument in November 2010.
