This building provides 24/7 watch and surveillance services year-round. Like the 12 others installed along the Atlantic coast, the Chassiron signal tower primarily serves a watchdog role. French Navy lookouts constantly monitor ship movements in their assigned area and are connected to the Brest base to issue alerts in the event of difficulties. This rescue mission is complemented by more strictly military prerogatives.
The signal tower is steeped in history. It was put into operation at the beginning of the 19th century and, at 28 meters tall, is the elder of the famous Chassiron lighthouse, located a short distance away.
