  As a part of the homage on Guido Altarelli, summarised in the book "From my
vast repertoire - the legacy of Guido Altarelli" edited by S. Forte, A. Levy
and G. Ridolfi, this contribution collects some of the technological and
scientific highlights of precision physics at LEP, the Large Electron-Positron
collider operated, from 1989 to 2000, at the European Laboratory for Particle
Physics, CERN.
