Vaujany

Vaujany (French pronunciation: [voʒani]) is a commune in the canton of Oisans-Romanche, in the Isère department in southeastern France.

The hydroelectric dams of Grand'Maison (completed 1985) and Verney pay Vaujany annual rents of just over 3 million euros.

Vaujany has been a frequent mountain-top finish in the Grande Boucle Féminine bicycle race (the equivalent of the Tour de France for female riders).

[8] On 9 September 1996 five people were charged with manslaughter at the criminal court of Grenoble; these were Jean-Pierre Cathiard (CEO of Poma), Serge Tarassof (technical director), Reylans Michel (engineer), Denis Creissels (supervisor) and Jacques Lombard (chief engineer).

As part of the trial, four experts highlighted many mistakes made by Poma,[6] most of which were based on the stabilizer,[5] which had been copied from another company before having further issues added to its design.
