Mont Aigoual, France – Meteorological Observatory Postcard

This postcard showcases the Observatoire du Mont Aigoual, located at an altitude of 1,567 meters in the Cévennes mountains of southern France. Built in the late 19th century, this observatory remains France’s last inhabited weather station, playing a crucial role in meteorological research.
The image captures a rugged mountain road, where an early 20th-century automobile makes its way uphill toward the fortress-like structure. The observatory was originally designed to serve both scientific and military purposes, and its castle-like architecture stands as a testament to its resilience against the harsh alpine climate.
The reverse side is blank.
