°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ

Although seen at a distance of some 85 kilometres, the Seuil de Blieux gap—tucked between the Mont Chiran (alt 1,905 m) and Mourre de Chanier (alt 1,930 m)—seems to tower above the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ site like an invitation for a hike or a skiing trip.

 

Taken from the road leading to Bridge of Mirabeau with a powerful telephoto lens, the view centres on the 60-metre-high °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Assembly Hall, whose south-facing facade is now half-covered with mirror cladding. The other buildings are all part of CEA Cadarache, the largest research centre of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission.
