Intertel Luxembourg is proud to announce a shared event:
the group visit of the Bure underground laboratory,
the famous future french radioactive waste landfill site.

Information about the Bure Underground Facilities may be found
on their web site

Instead of a “average tourist” exposition in surface, Intertel proposes you a guided tour of the installations, including underground
with a qualified scientific guide. The actual visit will last 4 hours.
It will require good health condition.
No claustrophobic, no canes or crutches users allowed.
No pregnant women.
All visitors must be minimum 18 years old at the time of the visit.

Indeed, we will not remain at the surface, but instead also visit the underground installations !

Unfortunately, there will be no German-speaking guide available – we are in France. Sorry about that.
