La Jument lighthouse, and the photo that made it famous.

Lighthouse at sea, La Jument is located on the southwestern outskirts of the island of Ouessant, in Brittany, is a mythical lighthouse made famous by the photos taken with it in the midst of storms on the Iroise Sea.If Ar-Men is nicknamed "the hell of hells", that of La Jument is "hell" for lighthouse keepers. The lighthouse was lit on October 15, 1911, but it is only 3 years later that the interior fittings will be completely finished. The speed of construction did not make it possible to make the base of the lighthouse reliable, which cracked at the first storm. This was followed by work to reinforce the base and even a cable shoring system in 1934.

The film "L'Equipier" by Philippe Lioret, made in 2004, pays tribute to the hard work of lighthouse keepers subjected to storms and isolation. The rescue and storm scenes were filmed at the foot of La Jument. Despite its height of 47 m, it is not uncommon for waves breaking on the lighthouse to completely cover it. In September 1974, a wave broke the lantern and rolled down the entire staircase inside the lighthouse. The keepers had only the possibility of opening the door on the ground floor to let it flow out and take refuge in the kitchen as the last dry place!

In December 1989, the photographer Jean Guichard took off in a helicopter to take pictures of the storm that raged that day in Brittany. He takes pictures above La Jument lighthouse. The keeper Théodore Malgorn, intrigued by the noise, goes out on the quay without realizing that a huge wave is breaking behind him. The photographer shoots. The guard will have just enough time to take refuge behind the door before the water rushes into the lighthouse. Contrary to rumors, he will not have been swept away by the wave, but will just have wet feet... This photo, after having made the cover of the book "Les Phares", was available as a poster and from 1994 to 2003, prances in the top 10 of photo sales in the world.

Phare de La Jument in Brittany - The Lighthouse Keeper, by Jean Guichard 1989 - The picture shows the lighthouse keeper Théodore Malgorne on the lower walkway.

A notorious storms on the Iroise Sea occurred on 21 December 1989, when a low-pressure front coming from Ireland brought gale-force winds and huge waves 20 to 30 metres high that crashed spectacularly against the lighthouse. And Guichard wanted to capture this in photographs.

Malgorne heard the sound of Guichard's helicopter and went outside the door. At the exact moment a huge wave of around 10 Beaufort hit the back of the tower. Malgorne realised his mistake in time and escaped unharmed back into the stairwell of the building before the wave could crash over him.

Waves of this kind can cause the tower to sway and cause considerable damage. Windows have occasionally been destroyed, the railings bent and even the entrance door torn out.

The lighthouse has been automated since 1991 and is no longer inhabited.

In 1989, in the midst of a raging storm off the Brittany coast, photographer Jean Guichard circled above the French lighthouse of la Jument (Le Phare de La Jument) in a helicopter, camera in hand to capture the tempest. Hearing the helicopter, keeper Theodore Malgorne came out to investigate but retreated quickly as a huge wave crashed into the lighthouse.

La Jument Lighthouse, France

A massive wave that hit the lighthouse La Jument off the coast of France in 1989, by Jean Guichard

On 21 December 1989, a low pressure front coming from Ireland brought gale force winds and huge waves of 20 to 30 metres high which crashed spectacularly against the lighthouse. The waves smashed through the lower windows of the lighthouse, ripped the front door, flooded the tower and washed away the furniture. Lighthouse keeper Théodore Malgorn ( in the photo he stands in the doorway) decided to take refuge up in the lantern room. Later he was rescued and survived.
