Pic du Midi de Bigorre
The Pic du Midi de Bigorre or simply Pic du Midi (altitude 2,877 m (9,439 ft)) is a mountain in the French Pyrenees famous for its astronomical observatory - so went round the exhibition - the model of the 2 meter telescope, known as the Bernard Lyot Telescope.
The telescope was placed at the observatory in 1980 on top of a 28 meter column built off to the side to avoid wind turbulence
