TV Mast Niort-Maisonnay, Television tower in Maisonnay, Deux-Sèvres, France.
The TV Mast Niort-Maisonnay is a 330 meter tall steel structure that rises above the flat landscape of Deux-Sèvres. The installation transmits radio and television signals across a wide region of western France.
The mast was built in 1978 and marked a major advance in French broadcasting infrastructure. Its height surpassed the Eiffel Tower and made it a new reference point for signal distribution in the region.
The television tower revolutionized media access for residents of Deux-Sèvres, bringing national and international programming directly into local households.
The structure is visible from the road and serves pilots as a visual landmark in the flat landscape. The best view of the mast comes from the surrounding fields and back roads near Niort.
At its height, the mast is one of the tallest points in France and towers many times above the surrounding terrain. For navigation purposes, the structure is lit at night to safely guide air traffic.
