CountryFile did an article on this a few weeks ago ..... the chap stepped back inside just in time - he is now quite famous, was one (if not the) last Lighthouse keepers in France.

The lighthouse became well-known in 1989, through a series of photographs taken by Jean Guichard during a storm and while the lighthouse keepers were stranded. Upon viewing the pictures, it would be easy to conclude that the man in the shots perished as a result of the wave. However, this is not true.
The lighthouse keepers had been waiting for a rescue helicopter; upon hearing the sound of Guichard's own helicopter, one of them came out to investigate. As the enormous wave broke over the lighthouse, he was able to hastily retreat back inside
