La Jument is a lighthouse built in 1911 on a rock about 300 metres from the coast of Ouessant (Ushant) in Brittany, Northwestern France. Standing 47.5 metres tall, it has become Brittany's most famous lighthouse, largely owing to dramatic photography by Jean Guichard that captured its isolated and dramatic setting. The structure was classified as a historical monument in 2017.
