Éole, god of the wind.

The highest vertical-axis wind turbine in the world.

Le Nordais, one of the most important windmill parks in America.

Located in Cap-Chat amidst the marvellous scenery of the Gaspé Peninsula, we find Éole. Wind turbines mix in harmoniously with the surrounding elements like a tribute to nature and man's spirit.

The rediscovery of this precious and unlimited energy combined with the evolution of technology is gaining more and more interest. Wind energy contributes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the acid rains of our planet.

Visitors will get to know the secrets of the Éole site, go inside the structure of the large wind turbine, get to see and understand the way it works, learn about the specific equipment concerning both the vertical-axis and horizontal-axis wind turbines and how they produce electricity. This clean and renewable source of energy is more and more in demand.

Throughout the visit, judicious comments are made and up-to-date charts are shown to heighten each and everyone's awareness of the critical state of our BLUE PLANET. And also that worldwide concerted actions should be taken to overcome the prevailing lack of concern, in order to recapture the purity and innocence of EARTH as it was at the beginning.
