Ploumanac‘h lighthouse and rocks
Perros-Guirec
About
The pink granite lighthouse stands in the middle of the chaotic rock formations formed by the erosion of cooled magma then shaped by the rain, salty sea spray and wind. Its name, "phare de Mean Ruz", comes from the Breton "Men Ruz", meaning pink stone. The construction of the lighthouse was the result of a petition in 1856 by the residents of Perros-Guirec and Trégastel. Blown up with dynamite by German troops before their surrender in August 1944, the building has not always looked like it does today. Pink granite was used to rebuild the lighthouse in 1948, replacing the grey granite originally used in 1860. The lighthouse was automated in 1980.
