The conference room has two white blackboards. You can use slides to be projected, and we can locate a video projector, to be connected at a computer if you wish to use beamer. In the last case please warn us in advance in order to reserve the video projector and tell us whether you bring your own computer. Do not forget your cables.
Lodging:
If you have special needs or you are vegetarian please send Louis a message in order to warn the restaurant/hotel.
The centre will accommodate -- food and lodging -- all participants. L'Escandille is an hotel situated in the (small) ski resort of Autrans.
The hotel has a free wifi connection. There is also a quite large lounge where we can spend afternoons and there will be a refreshment around 5pm every day. The hotel has a large swimming pool and sauna, hammam.
L'Escandille is located in the Vercors, famous for cross country skiing (during the winter !), in the French Alps, one hour by bus from Grenoble. Check out tourist information about Autrans here.
You can walk around the hotel located within a large park as well as in the village.
Organisers: The organisers are G.Besson , L. Funar (local organisers),
Scientific Committee: G.Besson , F. Labourie , P. Pansu.
In order to reach the village of Autrans, you first have to go to Grenoble. Thus, your trip involves two steps which we detail below
- 1. arriving at the bus station Grenoble-Gare
Routière which is very close to the train station,
2. taking from there the bus to Autrans.
From Lyon-Airport to Grenoble Gare-Routière (=Bus-Station). The closest international airport is Lyon Saint Exupery International Airport -- code LYS --. From Lyon airport, there is a shuttle service Lyon Airport-Grenoble Gare routière leaving in front of the main exit. You can buy tickets from the desk located just in the front of the exit door and you will get a better deal with a two-ways ticket. Credit cards are usually accepted but you may have to use and remember your NIP/PIN. There are buses approximatively every hour, but Sunday service stops earlier in the evening. Grenoble Gare routière will be the last -- and usually only -- stop. Here is the time schedule (as of May 2012) for the Lyon Airport-Grenoble shuttle. You might wish to give a look on the web page of the shuttle company. By now you can make reservations online.
From Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport to Grenoble train station. If you land in Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Aiport, you can take the high speed train TGV to Grenoble directly from the airport (for schedule and tickets, check here). The train is usually direct to Lyon, then you have to switch on a local train for Grenoble. For instance, there are trains leaving Roissy-Charles de Gaulle at 11:01 arriving at 15:11, and leaving at 13:01 arriving at 17:11.
From Grenoble train station to Grenoble Gare-Routière (=Bus-Station). If you come by train, you reach Gare routière by walking for 50 meters to the left when you leave the train station. There, you will see a large bus parking lot.
From Grenoble Gare-Routière to Autrans. You have two choices: the conference bus or a regular bus.
- 1. The conference bus:
We shall rent a bus to bring us from the Gare routière to l'Escandille at Autrans. We schedule that the bus leaves from Gare
Routière around 17:30, depending on the schedule of the participants. The trip to Escandille takes about 1 hour, so
that we can be at Escandille around 18:30.
2. Regular buses: We strongly suggest that you catch our conference bus: Autrans is 34km away from Grenoble and not easily reached. Nevertheless, here is the site wher you can find the time schedules for Grenoble-Autrans for those who cannot arrive in due time to catch our bus. Here is how you should do. First take the bus from Grenoble to Lans en Vercors (stop at "Office du Tourisme") and then take the correspondence bus from Lans en Vercors to Autrans (stop at "Le Village"). Escandille is at about 10 minutes walk from the stop. In the linked schedule, you will find two lines Grenoble-Lans en Vercors namely 5110 and 5100. The last bus on Sunday is leaving at 18:30 on line 5100 -- but this may be subject to change, so check the schedule. From Lans en Vercors to Autrans, the line operating is 5120. The last bus leaves at 19:15 and arrives at 20:00 at Autrans. Be aware that on the flyer, are also specified which days of the week the respective bus service is operational. You can also phone l'Escandille (04 76 95 32 02) and we will do our best to help you if you get lost in your way.
Departure The departure day is Friday, July 6th at 1:30 p.m. We have rent a bus that will bring everyone back at the Gare routière. From there, you can take again the shuttle to Lyon airport or the train.
