This is the landfall light for Le Havre and the Seine, and thus one of France's most important light stations. Lights were displayed here as early as the 14th century. In 1775 elegant twin lighthouses 17 m (56 ft) high were built atop the cliffs. These lighthouses were the first in France to be electrified; the south tower was lit in 1863 with electricity generated by a steam engine. The north light received electricity two years later. These historic towers were destroyed by Allied artillery in 1944 during attacks leading to the liberation of Le Havre.
