Phare de Nividic
The Phare de Nividic is one of five major lighthouses on Ouessant in Brittany. The others are the Phare du Créac'h, the Stiff lighthouse (the word is not English, but stems from Breton Stiv), Kéréon and La Jument. Built in 1912, the Phare de Nividic was the first automatic lighthouse in the world. It is a listed monument since 2017.[2]
