A long exposure of the night sky at Saint Michel l'Observatoire

            The village of Saint Michel l'Observatoire boasts a national and international low altitude facility for astronomers - l'Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP). It was here that the first confirmed sighting of an exoplanet was made on 6 October 1995. 

The village also enjoys an average of 170 cloudless nights per year, which was part of the reason the observatory was built there. Unfortunately it also suffers from a degree of light pollution. Apart from the stars, this long exposure of the night sky (25 seconds) also shows the light from Forcalquier reflecting off of the clouds.
