School visits
Through various educational projects, pupils in cycles 1, 2, 3 and 4 are invited to discover the Espiguette lighthouse and its unique environment. We offer half-day sessions filled with interactive workshops, specially designed to give children a complete immersion in this exceptional site. Each activity is designed to spark their curiosity and allow them to explore the nature, history and beauty of this iconic location.

What is the ideal outfit to wear when visiting the lighthouse?
We recommend wearing a pair of comfortable trainers and bringing a bottle of water to stay well hydrated. As the site is surrounded by nature, it is best to choose practical clothing so you can explore freely. Depending on the season, you may also want to bring a fleece and a windbreaker.
