Phare de la Gacholle was constructed to help vessels navigate through rough waters. Still a significant local landmark today, it's sure to have some tales to tell about sailing rescues and triumphs.
This longstanding beacon is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. But Phare de la Gacholle isn't the only highlight in the area. Camargue Regional Nature Park, Camargue Regional Nature Park Beach, and Plage de Beauduc are some other worthwhile sights close by.
