Cévennes – Mont Aigoual in southern France is famous for its weather station, built in 1894. Until recently, the remote site was staffed round the clock – but now it has become fully automated. The last technician to be posted there as head of the observatory shares her memories with RFI.
Chantal Vimpère, a technician for the French weather service Météo France, was the first woman in France to lead a weather station.
