Saint-Michel-l'Observatoire is known for its nights without light pollution, which has earned it the honor of having an astronomical observatory. The village is charming and has small squares, fountains and beautiful houses.

In the middle of the village is a beautiful fountain, a nice meeting place in Saint-Michel-l'Observatoire. Villagers get their water for the garden here. You fill your water bottle for the remaining kilometers.

In addition to the observatory, St-Michel-l'Obseratoire also has nice alleys, squares and of course some bars.
