Tourelle de la Plate
The Tourelle de la Plate, also known as Petite Vieille (Little Old Woman) is a lighthouse in the dangerous strait Raz de Sein, off the northwest coast of France, belonging to the departement of Finistère in the region of Brittany. It is a companion to La Vieille.
At a meeting on 5 June 1886, the lighthouse commission decided to construct a new tower near the La Vieille lighthouse, which was itself then in progress.
