La Vieille
Lighthouses are inseparable part of France holidays. You can take a look at the Northwest coast of France; it has interesting architectural marvels standing in the middle of the surging waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the British Channel. La Vieille is one place you should not miss out among the cliffs adjoining the rough seas.
La Vieille is also known as the old lady, located along the Finistere area built in the late 1800’s. Standing on the rock known as the Gorlebella, this lighthouse has been guiding mariners since long. You can reach the La Vieille from Raz de Sein.
Giving it company, there is the Petitie Vieille that is also remotely positioned in the rough Atlantic Ocean. You can take a boat on a clear day and get close look at the structure.
As you visit Brittany, the multiple Breton stone houses and distant sandy beaches you can feel transformed into another world. You can even get to hear scary stories about the lighthouse and feel the mysterious air along the trip. Many myths have been associated with the structure. Your tour guide will give you more details on the lives of the keepers working under difficult conditions.
It took five years of construction to complete the structure. Apart from the fierce tides, the eerie storms and winds also challenged the lighthouse keepers working here in the old times. Now automated lighting has changed the scenario of La Vieille completely.
You will be charmed and surprised by the beauty of La Vieille at the same time. Do visit this marvel during your holiday.
