The twin lighthouses on Ile d'Aix, Charente-Maritime, France, Europe.
The right tower (24 m.) was built in 1889. In 1906 a twin tower was built (this tower has a gallery but no lantern, instead it carries a curved red screen). The lighthouse was restored in 2013, repairing cracks in the masonry and replacing the optical system. The twin lighthouse is located on the walls of the Fort de la Rade, at the southern tip of Aix island.
