The Beaujolais Vert wind farm is the 1st wind farm in the Rhône department. It is made up of four wind turbines and can meet the annual electricity consumption of 13,000 people. Four years of study were necessary to build this park with respect for the environment.

The size of the wind turbines is truly impressive! The paths around the wind turbines are super gravel but there are many mountain bike paths in the area. It can be easily reached from the Col du Pilon.
