Places and monuments

Except its splendid castle, property of the Marquis de Goulaine, who lodges also a priceless collection of alive butterflies coming from the whole world, the commune of High-Goulaine is also closely related to the history of radio-television in the Nantes area.

It is on its territory, with the site of old the chestnut grove of " Louée" , that rtf (French Broadcasting-Television) decided to be established in March 1957 with the startup of a small transmitter TV room limited to Nantes and its suburbs, the second of the West after Rennes, on a provisional scaffolding high of approximately 50 m (, © Press-Ocean and Ouest-France, 1957)

Meanwhile the construction of a pylon of 200 m by Ets Joseph Paris of Nantes, was going to starting from April 7th, 1960 make it possible to bring television to almost all the Loire-Atlantique, to the west of the Département of Maine-et-Loire and to the northern half of the the Vendée. The transmitter should normally have taken up duty end 1958 or beginning 1959, but the appropriations could not have been obtained more early, television not being then regarded as a priority by the various governments of the time.

June 26th, 1964, Alain Peyrefitte, Minister for information, inaugurated officially in the center rtf of High-Goulaine " The TV-Loire Océan" (© Ouest-France 1964), regional newspaper which was going to become later " Tele Country of the Loire, edition of Nantes " (the transmitter of the Mans having an edition the Sarthe - Mayenne - Maine-et-Loire).

The drafting, the production and the diffusion of the regional tv news remained ten years with High-Goulaine, until the startup of the " House of ORTF " Beaulieu Island with Nantes, inaugurated by Jacques Sallebert in April 1974. The evolution was also marked by the passage to the color of the Nantes emissions, giving up the reports in 16 mm black and white (with separate audio magnetic band) with the profit of the recording on portable video tape recorders.

In the Years 2000 the pylon High-Goulaine, designed initially by the rtf for two transmitters TV and three radios FM, had become obsolete, accommodating six chains TV and several radios FM, without counting its premature wear by the saline air relatively near. Its replacement proved to be essential.

A new pylon (© TDF) was thus built by TDF (Télédiffusion of France) beside old, of which it took over in 2003. The old mast was dismounted and the new diffuse one since September 2005 the emissions TV in new standard TNT.

In March 2007, that will make 50 years of presence of radio-television to High-Goulaine
