Look at the picture below portraying the nearby Tourelle du Chat:

 

You can see a coat of what looks like a solid red paint under the current black/yellow paintwork. Other lighthouses or day beacons with solid red or mostly red paint (possibly used as lateral marks):


Tourelle Richelieu (La Rochelle)


Tourelle des Vignettes (Saint-Nazaire)


Tourelle du Pignon (Rivière de Penerf estuary)

You are right, it makes little sense, unless the steady green light was replaced with something else on a later date...

That's not so uncommon in especially dangerous areas, where the beacon and the light on top of it (if any) are better spotted from a longer distance than it is possible with an 'isolated danger' buoy:


Tourelle du Lavardin


Tourelle des Brillantes


Tourelle des Birvideaux


Tourelle du Soulard (Lorient)
