Presentation

No doubt, here history has left its mark! Located on one of the most visited tourist sites in the Pays de Retz, come and discover the Semaphore de la Pointe Saint-Gildas, rich in historical, maritime and military heritage.

Come and understand the communication and coastal surveillance techniques used in the 19th century thanks to the 12-meter high semaphore mast installed in the landscaped area of the Semaphore.
Strategic point of view on the ocean, this former lookout post, which became a semaphore in 1862, then a lighthouse in 1954, bears witness, within a modern museographic space, to its history, the evolution of maritime communications as well as great shipwrecks of the Loire estuary which have marked memories.

Also find the temporary exhibition and the nocturnal conferences in July-August.
