This page shows the documentation of the Lighthouses of Northern France (the
side that faces England.)
You can click on the photo of the light to go to it's specific (larger
resolution) copy. Each lighthouse name is linked to (in our editorial
opinion) the best reference site for that light.
I would like to include directions on
how to get to these lights. If you know such data, could you eMail
me
and I'll post it here (with your choice of attribution.)
There has been significant
improvements in content by comparing my other data with the
Lighthouse Directory
prepared by Russ Rowlettw6. My thanks to him for providing this basis
for understanding.
