one problem that still remains centuries later. that way. then why. are full of concentration. the tide is coming in and they'll have to get out sassed of the lighthouse. first put on load everything. it's the changing of the lighthouse keepers. come out and then why has everything they need for a week. they'll be totally alone as soon as the door shuts. they have to get used to a new rhythm. to a new life. into

a once we're here we're here. we're not going to go anywhere. we'll be able to take our time. was because i like it here i'm much calmer than when i'm at home. the corridor one lighthouse in southwestern france is a national monument. it's over 400 years old and boasts 301 steps. but been wanting are used to them they have to check that everything is ok. the beacon is at a height of 70 meters and it needs regular cleaning. and you know if there's one thing that has to be perfectly clean it's thinks for sure. the life was still serves as a navigational aid despite the existence of satellite systems. it's always important to have a visual aid just like in a coma what you read it means you shouldn't come through it's dangerous just green

means it's so if. the lights go on automatically after dark. light housekeepers no longer have to light the beacon themselves. but they like coming up anyway. there were no but i think it's great there are always certain lights effect. the light can be seen from 40 kilometers away. the 2 always eat together there are 6 lighthouse keepers in total and they always do one or 2 weeks shifts in pairs. the next morning they go for a walk at low tide the weather stormy but they are well equipped they love it here . too surfers could only spice for

us if you are totally free. be advantages that we're not locked in a toll despite being at sea. they go for walks as much as possible. in summer they show the tourists around and they also carry out repairs when necessary . and electrician and sculptor face regular attention to the railings which get damaged by the weather he's been working here for 9 years already. most are like these old buildings. the old stone there's a lot of material to work with a lot of physical work to feed this is what i'm interested in this is you know this is my passion was from one floor down to maz polishing the copper. after his studies he worked on cruise ships and at holiday resorts. he found this job by chance. that nobody will say to me if you publish the copper or not that's

good that's bought most people don't care we're in the middle of the ocean there's nobody here to see it but if i want to do it i do i think it's a very positive context to work in it's not having to do this on among but that's what she's doing this on a wednesday so this is how i want to live the to also have very little contact with the outside world phones don't work while all they have for company is each other far away from their families they call it that when i miss my wife and kids it's not that i want to leave here it's just because i want to be with them you know but otherwise it's good here if my wife and daughter were here i could live here the whole year but there's. they both want to stay in this increasingly rare profession for as long as possible. a work vacation in required well in the summer unesco will decide whether the lighthouse will become a world heritage site thanks so much for watching focus on your of do let me know
