Laser Mégajoule

CEA/Cesta or simply Cesta (French: Centre d'études scientifiques et techniques d'Aquitaine; English: Center for scientific and technical study of Aquitaine) is a French research facility (CEA, Direction of Military Applications) dedicated to the design of nuclear weapons. The center was established in 1965 on the commune of Le Barp between Bordeaux and Arcachon. The center hosts the Megajoule laser (LMJ), which should enable French nuclear scientists to validate models of nuclear explosion without having to conduct nuclear testing. The LMJ is the French equivalent of the National Ignition Facility.

Lafayette transmitter was a large facility used for transatlantic VLF-transmission, located at Marcheprime, Aquitaine, France. The Lafayette transmitter used an antenna, which was carried by eight free-standing lattice towers (each 250 metres tall) with triangular cross-sections, which were the second tallest free-standing towers in the world. The 250-meter-high tripod pylons were supplied by Pitt-Des Moines Co steelworks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and transported by water to Bordeaux. In 1944 the installations of Lafayette transmitter were destroyed by retreating German troops. The last of the towers was demolished in 1953.
