Continue along this road keeping the Cadarache fence to your right. After 2.2 km the fence comes to an end, and a tall yellow sign on your right indicates the entrance to ITER Headquarters. By Bus There are 2 public buses (150 and 151) which stop at the front gate of CEA Cadarache, within walking distance of ITER Headquarters. By Train Major train stations are located in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille: 'Aix-en-Provence centre' is located 40 minutes by car from Cadarache.
