Cap Camarat lighthouse
France's 2nd highest lighthouse in terms of the height of its light source above sea level (130 meters), it owes its name to a 14th-century seigniorial estate. "After years of closure, it is once again possible to visit the lighthouse, by reservation only.
Listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques in 2012, it dates back to 1838. Electricity replaced oil in 1946. Since 1977, it has been automated and remotely controlled from the lighthouse on the island of Porquerolles. Its light signal, with a range of 60 kms, punctuates the beautiful summer nights with its white light of 4 flashes grouped in 15 seconds.
At the foot of the tower, in mistral weather, the light is dazzlingly clear, giving an infinite view of the sea, the Var coast and its capes; to the west, the Iles d'Or (or Iles d'Hyères): Le Levant, Port-Cros, Bagaud, Porquerolles.
For walkers, to the left of the lighthouse, take the small path that joins the coastal path just before Ile aux Oiseaux or Rocher des Portes: to the east, you'll reach Pampelonne beach in 50 minutes; to the west, l'Escalet in 3 and Cap Taillat in 3.5 hours.
