At the western tip of Île de Ré, on a low sandy point where the swell comes in off the open Atlantic. The white tower rises 57 metres above the dune, the third light kept on this stretch. The first was the Vieille Tour, completed in 1682 under Colbert; the current lighthouse was built in 1854 to a design by Léonce Reynaud. The name comes from whales that used to strand on this coast often enough to give the point its name. Two hundred and fifty-seven cast-iron steps to the lantern. The sea is wider here than the photographs let on.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
