(autotranslated, could have mistakes)
The Atlantic coast of France has been inhabited by the sea, fishing and trade since ancient times. Port Brest - small trading and fishing boats always actively sailed along these shores - to the south of France, to Spain and beyond. But on the way of the sailing ships there was a very unpleasant place - a long chain of islands and underwater reefs, going far into the sea - the Chaussée de Sein.
A huge number of ships disappeared there. And so in 1869 it was decided to erect a lighthouse on the island of Tevennec - the very first dangerous place if you sail from the north to the south of France. It took more than five years to build the lighthouse, and in 1875 a fire broke out on it. Thus, it, together with the La Vieille lighthouse, formed a kind of light gate and the ships had to stay between them.

Атлантическое побережье Франции издревле жило морем, рыболовством и торговлей. Портовый Брест - вдоль этих берегов всегда оживленно плавали небольшие торговые и рыбацкие суденышки – на юг Франции, в Испанию и дальше. Но на пути парусников находилось очень неприятное место – длинная цепь островов и подводных рифов, уходящая далеко в море - Шоссе-де-Сэн (Chaussée de Sein).
Огромное количество судов там пропало. И вот в 1869 году было решено поставить маяк на острове Тевеннек (Tevennec) – самом первом опасном месте, если плыть с севера на юг Франции. Более пяти лет ушло на возведение маяка, и в 1875 году на нем вспыхнул огонь. Таким образом он вместе с маяком Ля-Вьей (La Vieille) образовывали некие световые ворота и кораблям нужно было держаться между ними.
