Editing Paris Observatory (section)

=== Saint-Véran ===
Also known as the Observatoire du Pic de Château Renard, the [[Observatoire de Saint-Véran]] was built in 1974 on top of the Pic de Château Renard ({{convert|2900|m|abbr=on|disp=or}}), in the commune of [[Saint-Véran]] in the Haut Queyras ([[Hautes Alpes]] ''département''). A [[coronograph]] was in operation there for ten years; the dome was moved there from the Perrault building of the Observatoire de Paris.

Nowadays, the AstroQueyras amateur astronomy association operates the facility, using a {{convert|60|cm|abbr=on}} telescope on loan from the [[Observatoire de Haute Provence]]. Numerous [[asteroid]]s have been discovered there.<ref>{{ cite web| url=http://www.obspm.fr/histoire/saintveran/saintveran.fr.shtml | title=L'Observatoire du Pic de Château Renard (2900 m) | work=Histoire | publisher=l'Observatoire de Paris | language=fr | access-date=2007-08-27 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070915043839/http://www.obspm.fr/histoire/saintveran/saintveran.fr.shtml | archive-date=2007-09-15}}</ref>
