Project Éole is the world's largest Darrieus vertical axis wind turbine. Its unique shape makes it stand out immediately from all the other wind turbines in the vicinity and although it has been inactive since the early 90s, it's a testament to the forward thinking of Canadian engineers of the time. The site now serves as a museum which goes over the history of wind turbines in the area and how the Cap Chat site became a testbed for vertical axis wind farms which have an advantage over conventional turbines in that they're less prone to variations in wind direction. The surrounding wind farm is still the largest in the Gaspesie region and served to accelerate its spread across Eastern Canada. The curator is fully bilingual and very knowledgeable about the associated technologies. There are several displays around the grounds and you can also walk inside the control room and base of the turbine. Unfortunately not all of the displays have been translated into English, however the image translation via Google Translate seems to work fine for the most part. The site also offers excellent views of the ocean and several trails. It's definitely well worth a visit for those who have an interest in science, technology and sustainability.
