The site

Dock of Port Bihan, at the end of the Sauzon dock and at the entrance of the fishing and marina port, northwest of the city of Sauzon, facing Quiberon Bay.

Context / Existing buildings
The Lighthouse Hotel is a stone building built in 1880
Built on the model of typical construction of the island, it is characterized by its two solid gables, slightly drilled and crowned with chimney stacks, by white walls coated with lime, or by straight dormers on the roof.
Also, it stands out in the Belle-Île-en-mer landscape with its roof in red Huguenot diamond tiles.
On the east side of the building is a large panoramic terrace with a view of the Sauzon outer harbor.
The building is engraved in the rock, which explains a height difference between the dock of Port Bihan in the East and the Canon street to the west.
