Planier Light is an active lighthouse standing 66 meters tall on the Île de Planier, a small island 13 kilometres off the coast of Marseille, France. Built from stone in 1326, it ranks as the twelfth-tallest traditional lighthouse in the world. The remote island site is accessible only by boat, and both the tower and island remain closed to the public. The structure has been classified as a historical monument.
