Some journeys take us far without moving an inch. This is what happens to Marine Barnérias when she embarks on a stone vessel nicknamed the "Versailles of lighthouses", namely the Cordouan lighthouse. Recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this place welcomes thousands of visitors every year. For several centuries, it has been a valuable aid for the complex navigation at the entrance to the Gironde estuary. This exceptional building is also an important witness to the history of France. In the company of Franck, the architect responsible for the restoration work that has just been completed, Benoit, a keeper for 10 years, and Isabelle, for whom this is the first season, Marine discovers for 24 hours what it means to live in the service of the King of lighthouses.
