Observatory Secret – the Telescope
“We are arriving in the wooden dome, which pivots to reveal the stars. We climb a few stairs with rivets individually crafted in the Eiffel style by an enthusiastic blacksmith.

Unique in the world with its central tube flanked by two photographic tubes, it weighs well over a ton!”
