  The EDELWEISS Dark Matter Search uses low-temperature Ge detectors with heat
and ionisation read-out to identify nuclear recoils induced by elastic
collisions with WIMPs from the galactic halo. Preliminary results obtained with
320g bolometers are described. After a few weeks of data taking, data
accumulated with one of these detectors already allow to reach the upper part
of the DAMA region. Prospects for the present run and the second stage of the
experiment, EDELWEISS-II, using an innovative reversed cryostat allowing data
taking with 100 detectors, are briefly described.
