CNES Toulouse Space Centre

CNES’s Toulouse Space Centre (CST) is the agency’s orbital-systems centre and its largest space field centre in Europe. CNES says teams there conceive and operate orbital systems and exploit the data they acquire, with the site at 18 avenue Édouard Belin in Toulouse. The current CNES site lists two visitor reception points: the North gate at 18 avenue Édouard Belin and the South gate at rond-point Guillaumat, and publishes separate security and arrival guidance. These gates identify the operational campus; confirm current CNES access arrangements before travelling rather than treating the site as an unrestricted walk-in attraction.
