ITER is under construction in southern France adjacent to the CEA Cadarache Research Centre, located in the commune of Saint-Paul-lez-Durance. By Car Cadarache is located close to the A51 motorway linking Aix-en-Provence with the Alps. It is approximately 35 km from Aix-en-Provence and 20 km from Manosque. Heading north from Aix in the direction of Sisteron, take exit 17 (Vinon/St-Paul-lez-Durance). At the first roundabout after the toll, go left onto the D952 towards Vinon. Continue along this road keeping the Cadarache fence to your right. After 2.2 km, a tall yellow sign on your right indicates the entrance to the former ITER Headquarters (now the site of Buildings 81 and 82). For the permanent ITER Headquarters building, continue another kilometre along the D952 until you reach a large roundabout. Take the second right (ITER Accès Est) through the light grey gates and continue up the hill to the ITER Welcome Building. By Bus There are two public buses that stop at the front gate of CEA Cadarache, three kilometres from ITER Headquarters. CPA line 150 (Aix-en-Provence--St Paul lez Durance) and CPA line 151 (Pertuis--St Paul lez Durance). The LER line 26A from the Marseille-Provence Airport to Digne-les-Bains stops in front of the neighboring CEA facility. It also serves the Aix TGV train station.
