Tignousa
François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory

The Tignousa alpine pasture offers exceptional conditions for observing the planets and stars. Does the François-Xavier Bagnoud Observatory seem very small to you? However, its state-of-the-art equipment even allows exoplanets to be studied, and it was here that certain characteristics of Gliese 436b, an extrasolar planet located more than 33 light years from Earth, were discovered!
