Location

The conference will take place on the ground floor of "Bâtiment S" at the Faculty of Sciences, Campus de La Source University of Orléans. The upper red circle is the conference location. The lower red circle is the tram stop. The lowest circle (green) is the place for lunch (Agora, lower floor).

By public transportation

1. fly to Paris (Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle or Orly)
2. go to the Gare d'Austerlitz (Austerlitz station) in Paris (south bank of the River Seine on the east)
   Metro Gare d'Austerlitz, line 5 and 10, RER C
   You can also go to Gare de Lyon (RER A) and cross the river to the other bank
3. take a train to Orléans (station)
   Beware that there are 2 stations, Orléans-les-Aubrais and Orléans-Centre (the one you want to go to). All the trains stops at Orléans-les-Aubrais but you might have to switch to a city train to get to Orléans-Centre.
   To get the timetable of the train, I suggest not to use the site of the national railways company but the more fast, friendly, add-free, and even accurate sometimes:
   • Swiss Federal Railways SBB
   • Deutsche Bahn AG
4. you are then at walking distance from the city center, the old city, hotels and restaurants.
5. To go to the university, take the tramway southward (or right on the provided map, direction "Orléans-La-Source Hôpital de La Source"). and go down at "Université Parc Floral" (second stop in the campus).
6. the conference is located in the main lecture building of sciences: "Bâtiment S". Since you arrived on the southern platform and you have to go north, you first cross to rails and go on straight. It is indicated on the map of the campus.
