Major works mark the history of the Cordouan lighthouse and a large-scale campaign was completed in 2022. The refueling of the shipyard was organized by sea transport or helicopter. It was therefore necessary to calculate as accurately as possible the quantities of stone, lime and the needs for tools.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the lighthouse honors the craftsmen who have united their know-how during this great campaign of restoration work.
Several craftsmen will be present and will present to the visitors their profession, as well as the regional curator of historical monuments of the DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine, who will evoke the major phases of this colossal project.
