Phare de Tévennec is a lighthouse located at the western tip of Brittany (département of Finistère), in the northern part of the Raz de Sein off the Pointe du Van. Automated in 1910 because of its difficult access, it accompanies the fire of la Vieille in securing the passage of the Raz de Sein, which presents many difficulties.

It was listed monument historique by decree of December the 31th, 2015.
Securing the Raz de Sein

The construction of the Ar-Men lighthouse, designed to secure the floor of Sein off the island of the same name, began in 1867. But there is also a sea passage between the île de Sein and the Pointe du Raz constitutes a shortcut: the Raz de Sein.
