I would watch the hell out of a documentary explaining how they built this in 1912. I can't imagine how they'd build this TODAY.

Crazy to think they drained the ocean in order to build this.

Nividic is the first automatic lighthouse built in the world. Here it is on a calm day.

The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

at least you don't have to worry about cleaning the windows!

On the contrary, with all that salt you will never have clean windows again. Ever.

Very good point! And so we do a 360 and never have to worry about cleaning them because there’s no point!

3 hours a day, 3 months a year (summer) for 20 years.

How do you even build that?

Tides in france are pretty extreme, so they could use low tides to bring in materials, station gear, and do construction.
