Grau-du-Roi is a city located near Nîmes. Once a city of fishermen, it is now a seaside town. The lighthouse was built in 1828.
Inactive since 1869. 19 m (62 ft) round cylindrical stone tower with lantern and gallery, centered on a 1-story keeper's house. Lighthouse painted white. Grau-du-Roi is a small port on the west side of the Camargue (the Rhône delta); a canal leads northeast to the older port town of Aigues-Mortes. This lighthouse was replaced in 1869 by the Phare de l'Espiguette, but the old tower has been carefully preserved. Located at the base of the west jetty of the canal entrance in Grau-du-Roi. Site open, tower closed.
