Accommodation

There are several important events in Paris in October and it can be difficult to find an hotel at the last minute. Participants are requested to make their own reservation as soon as possible.The place of the meeting, building of the CNRS in Meudon is close to both (see the map):

1. the station Bellevue (about 200m) of the train "transilien N" (from Paris-Montparnasse to Rambouillet, Dreux, Mantes la Jolie) etc. (here the timetable)  (see the stations).
2. the station Brimborion (about 700m) of the tramway "T2" (see the stations) by the "chemin des Lacets" (but the slope to climb the hill is rather steep).

There are no convenient hotels in Meudon. You can choose to book an hotel:

• -in Paris close to "Gare Montparnasse" and you will come to Meudon, station Bellevue, by train (1 train every 15mn for a trip of about 12 mn). It's probably the best solution but the hotels in Paris are more expensive.
• -in Issy les Moulineaux and you will come to Meudon, station Brimborion, by tram (1 tram every 7 mn for a trip of about 6 mn). [If you want to go to Paris-Porte de Versailles from your hotel by tram, it will take 10mn.]
• -in Suresnes and you will come to Meudon, station Brimborion, by tram (1 tram every 7 mn for a trip of about 10 mn). [If you want to go to Paris-Porte de Versailles from your hotel by tram, it will take 25mn.]

A list of convenient hotels in Paris close to Gare Montparnasse, in Issy les Moulineaux and in Suresnes is available here.  Best rates are often available by direct online booking.

Selecting an hotel and making reservation is also possible on line using one of the following web sites: Hotels in Paris (click on district 14 or 15), or http://www.parishotels.com.
