Pointe Place Lighthouse
France
This is a remarkable lighthouse, taller than any Canadian light and comparable to the tallest U.S. skeletal lighthouses. The central cylinder was encased in concrete in 1928 and the legs in 1950 to stop corrosion of the iron structure. Located at the southwestern tip of Île Langlade, which is connected to Miquelon by a narrow, sandy isthmus. Accessible only by boat. Site open, tower closed.
