Built in 1885 to strengthen the lighting system at the entrance to the Odet. The term "lighthouse" is inaccurate, its characteristics making it a light. It completes the network set up in 1823. Its plan is characteristic of the constructions of the time. It consists of two parts: the keeper's house and the turret, which reaches about fifteen meters in height. Occupied by the Germans from July 1940, its lantern was destroyed in August 1944. It was rebuilt identically in the following years.

Bénodet is a small French commune with 3,878 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2022) in the Cornouaille region. It is located in Brittany, in the Finistère department, in the Quimper arrondissement. The name "Bénodet" comes from the Breton language: "Ben" means "head," and "Odet" is the river on which the commune lies. The commune is thus located at the head (or mouth) of the Odet. The commune is located in the Cornouaille region, 13 kilometers (8.2 miles) south of the city of Quimper, at the mouth of the wide, deep Odet estuary, which cuts deep into the land, into the Atlantic Ocean. The Odet estuary is crossed north of the commune by the Pont de Cornouaille, a high road bridge. The more popular tourist towns of Concarneau and Pont-l'Abbé are just a few kilometers away.
