The Phare des Baleines is a stone lighthouse built in 1854 on the Île de Ré in Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, Charente-Maritime. Designed by Léonce Reynaud, the structure rises 56 meters and exemplifies the engineering standards of mid-nineteenth-century French maritime architecture. Classified as a historical monument, the lighthouse remains an important navigational landmark on the Atlantic coast.
