Le Crotoy, France

For a very small fishing village located on the northern entrance to the Somme estuary, it was actually quite difficult to find the front! More by luck than judgement, we found ourselves in a tight dead end and I dodged the raindrops to run to the estuary wall to see if I could look and down the front to see where it was. No sign of it all!
Then, walking back to the car, I fell over it.
Like Le Hourdel, this stood on the site of an older 1851 light. This sci-fi construction went up in 1951 after WW2.
