7 Rue du Four Solaire, 66120 Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via, France
Cool scientific installation. The mirrors are amazing, and there are plaques around the outdoor site in French, Spanish, and English showing information about the solar experiments. However, the indoor visitor centre has been closed since Nov 2017. 20 minute visit.
An extraordinary facility in an extraordinary location - and a visitor centre definitely made by scientists! It definitely helps to have some schoolboy French as the translation booklets (helpfully provided) are quite scant. The demonstrations were definitely worth waiting for after the film; we managed to nab a melted steel plate from the shop afterwards!
Very impressive scientific structure, even when seen only from the outside.
Great place, with some video etc and walking, with experiments. At the beginnings of something, some kids might get bored....
Great place for research
