How to reach the ENS

The simplest way to reach the ENS is to use the metro. The closest metro station is Debourg (indicated by an M on the enclosed map), situated on line B which is readily accessible if you arrive at the Part-Dieu trainstation.

If you arrive at the airport, there is a very convenient shuttle "Satobus" to the Part-Dieu station every twenty minutes. If you arrive at the older Perrache trainstation, you can either take the metro (two changes), or take the bus 32 or 96 and leave at the "Halle Tony Garnier" stop.

Beware there are two buildings called ENS nearby: one devoted to Arts and Social sciences (ENS-LSH) just in front of the Debourg metro station, and the other one (ENS Sciences) a little bit further (5 min walk). The conference is held at the ENS Sciences. Beware, the sign in the metro leads to the ENS-LSH. The detailed map below describes how to reach the correct ENS from the metro station.

Participants arriving on Wednesday evening should go to the ENS front desk. They will be required to present an identification document (ID card or passport) in order to be given the key to their room.

Organization

The conference room is located in the UNESCO building adjacent to the ENS. Registration and tea breaks will be held in the entrance hall of the ENS (near the front desk). See enclosed map.

For breakfast, croissants and the like will be provided to the participants in the ENS entrance hall.

Lunch is not provided, but there are numerous small restaurants in the area, some simple, some of them quite renowned (the place was formerly a cattle market). A list is included with the map.
