Although lighthouses seem familiar, do we really know their history? Today, they light our coasts up, but during the 19th century, Paris was the capital of lighthouses, and a high place of optical and mechanical experimentation. The Musée National de la Marines features this fantastic universe, through various points of view and an important installation. Essential mark for navigators, technological and architectural wonder, lighthouse still a major symbol of coastal history, halfway between myth and artistic inspiration. There is no time to waste, check this event now!
