How to get there
cf up-to-date info maintained by INRIA
The international airport in Nice is connected to most large European cities and several American cities too. There is a direct bus connection from the airport to the entrance door of INRIA (we're soo famous you know...) for as much as 1.0 or 1.3 Euro.
There is also a bus from the Antibes railway station.
Local busses (see map below) operate from Antibes center or railway station.
At first sight, lines 1, 11,22,100 are interesting if you stay in Antibes.
Some useful links:
- INRIA travel information
- Nice Airport
- Airport bus ("Sophia Express") timetables
- Local bus system, with the complete map of all busses.
On this map, you will find INRIA bus stop a little south-west of the name "Biot".
Accommodation
Every participant will pay for one's lodging separately. Lodging is not included in the fee. Please make your reservation well in advance.We would advise you to stay right inside Sophia-Antipolis, which is a sort of technology and science park. Although it may prove a little quiet at night... The city of Valbonne maintains a list of existing hotels, and Google maps probably works as well. Beware: Valbonne city is not close to Sophia-Antipolis and not very well connected: make sure your hotel is in Sohia-Antipolis. Below is a map of the Sophia-Antipolis area, featuring INRIA and the nearby hotels. INRIA has no negociated rate with any hotel.
However, those who want to extend their stay might want to stay in a more lively place, such as Antibes city. A car may prove useful then, but there are a railway line and busses. For instance, here are two hotels in Antibes that people generally like:
Scale on the map: one square is 500 meters X 500 meters
Check your Hotel with respect to INRIA location. Beware, there is also an "INRA" which is not us!
