A lighthouse serves as a guiding beacon for maritime pilots at sea. The history of lighthouses can be traced back to the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which dates between 300 and 280 B.C. Among the notable lighthouses of the modern era is the Petit Minou on the Atlantic coast of France.

This lighthouse plays a crucial role in guiding vessels through the treacherous waters of the Goulet de Brest strait. Its powerful foghorn sounds every 60 seconds, and its lights can be seen from up to 19 miles.
