Nearer to the stars
The observatory on the Pic du Midi, at 2877 metres the highest in the Pyrenees, is a well known site for visitors, affording incomparable views of the mountains as well as other astronomical attractions. It is undergoing a 4.5 million euro renovation, the first part of which will offer a planetarium allowing daytime visitors to see the universe beyond and should open before the year's end. The auditorium will house 45 visitors in special inclined seats and offers as well as the star view a film showing how the scientist Serge Brunier photographed the entire visible galaxy.
