Lafayette transmitter

The transmitter Lafayette was a great plant for the transmission of messages to the south of the station of Croix d' Hins at Marche Prime, Aquitaine, France. The transmitter Lafayette was a so-called pop radio station and used a transmitting antenna, which was carried by eight free-standing steel lattice towers with triangular cross-section. These towers were after the Eiffel Tower at the time the tallest freestanding towers in Europe.

1944, the assets of the transmitter Lafayette were destroyed by the retreating German troops in 1953 and the last of the towers was demolished.
