    Sorry but I don't understand your comment, could you be more explicit please.
    PF = polarizer filter ?

    YES Circular Polariser for the water and Graduated Neutral Density filter for the sky

    I like #5 --- it kept me thinking why it was named Le Coq when there was not a rooster in sight.

    Wikipedia is an easy way to find information:

    The name of the lighthouse comes from a pyramid of stones, used in line with a rock in the form of a cock, which served to signal the mouth of the Odet river.

    On December 15, 1848, the first lighthouse of the Pyramid was completed and lit. It is a turret that is 9 m tall and occupies the circular space at the end of the first alley leading to the current fire.

    In 1887, an improvement of the entry markers in the Odet river with alignment is decided under the direction of the chief engineer Louis Plantier. The Combrit lighthouse is built, and the Pyramid lighthouse is moved and elevated to 38 meters to serve two alignments at a time2. It is made of Breton leucogranite, an easily processable rock. It was completed and lit on 15 May 1887.

    On August 10, 1944, the lighthouse was decapitated halfway up by the Germans.
    It will be rebuilt identically and re-lit in 1950, with a blackout light every 12 seconds.
