Cordouan must rank as one of the most exotic French Lighthouses. Situated in the Gironde estuary, it boasts beautiful architecture, and claims to be the first lighhouse to be equipped with a Fresnel lens.

This video is an extract from the videos that describes the whole trip in detail, including views of many other interesting lighthouses and features of the French Atlantic coast

The whole trip, viewing many more lighthouses from the sea, is available in 2 videos on YouTube titled
"So Phare, So Good" and "So Phare So Good - return journey".

There is also a pdf account of the whole trip available on my website at www.ariadnetrue.co uk. Look for 2010 in the European Cruises section.
