It was under the reign of King Charles X that the architect Charles-Félix Morice de la Rue designed the Gatteville lighthouse (246 ft / 75 m), the highest in France at that time. It was superseded by the lighthouse of l'Île Vierge in Brittany (270 ft / 82.5 m) in 1897. The lighthouse of Gatteville signals the entrance to the Canal de la Déroute to navigators coming from the east. It gives directions to ships leaving the cove of Vauville and points out the granite rocks with which the sea bristles.
