Advice on visiting CERN?

[Borg]

I'm working on a trip to France this summer and might be able to fit in a visit to Cern. If anyone has been there and has any advice, I would love to hear from you before I finalize my plans. From what I've read, my only real hope is the standard tours that cover the museum, films, walks, etc. I know that it's impossible to get a tour of the ring (especially if it's running ) and that technical tours are very limited and primarily go to universities, research groups, or professional organizations. In any case, it would be great to hear about others' experiences and any tips to make the trip more interesting.

As I see, there are several restrictions and conditions.

I appreciate the link but I'm just looking to visit for a single day and I'm not a researcher.

Yes, I think so.

Still working on the agenda but CERN is looking like it won't fit into our schedule.

Is there anything equivalent to CERN around you? Fermilab, in the USA, for example?I might be talking nonsense. Just for another trip.

 

[Borg]

Not really. CERN is/was a just consideration since we may be travelling nearby. I'm sure we'll still get blasted by a neutrino or two as the train passes about 50 miles to the west.

If you can book a visit would be great, you get to visit more stuff than just the home building.

I have think the nearby Chamonix valley is an amazing site. It is very steep and narrow with big chunks that broke off the glacier above. I like the village of Argentiere.
