EDF Cruas power plant with mural

Highlight • Monument

The nuclear plant of Cruas on the Rhône River presents itself harmless, with a wind turbine generating a token renewable energy, in front of beautiful baby murals on a cooling tower, trying to distract from the menacing harm the nuclear cooling towers could signify. The plant is right along a well paved section of the ViaRhôna.

The La Cruas power plant on the banks of the Rhône River impresses with its industrial architecture and mighty cooling towers. Guided tours offer fascinating insights into power generation and safety technology. The surrounding area invites you to stroll along the riverbank. A fascinating place for technology enthusiasts and photography enthusiasts alike.
