Petit Minou Lighthouse, Brittany, France

Even if its name is reminiscent of a small cat, its origin seems rather to come from the word ‘min’, which in Breton language means mouth, or ‘point’. In the plural, ‘min’ becomes ‘kitty’, hence this cute little name! The lighthouse is located on a rocky point called Petit-Minou, which pairs with that of Grand-Minou.
