France: Europe reaches space from the jungle
France reaches space from two very different places. In Toulouse, the Cite de l'espace lets visitors walk beneath a full-scale Ariane 5, step aboard a Mir module mock-up and try astronaut-training experiences. Five degrees north of the equator, the Guiana Space Centre at Kourou is the working spaceport itself, where free guided bus tours roll right up to the launch pads, with passport details lodged days in advance. Time a trip to an Ariane or Vega liftoff and you can watch…
The Guiana Space Centre at Kourou is Europe's spaceport; in Toulouse, the Cité de l'espace brings the adventure to life for the public.
Europe launches its Ariane rockets from Kourou, in French Guiana, near the equator to harness Earth's spin.
