La Jument ("the mare") is a lighthouse in Brittany, Northwestern France.[1] The lighthouse is built on a rock (that is also called La Jument) about 300 metres from the coast of the island of Ushant. It was listed as a historic monument in 2017.[2] It is one of the three most famous lighthouses of the region,[citation needed] together with the Nividic lighthouse and the Kreac'h lighthouse.
