Logistics

Reaching the campus

Here is a campus map with

• bus stops (blue);
• relevant buildings:
  • Amphi Revard, where the workshop will take place,
  • the lab (LAMA).

Train / bus

The campus may be reached by bus from both train stations "Chambéry Challes-les-eaux" and "Aix-les-Bains le Revard".

From Chambéry, take bus A towards INSEEC. (Warning: the other direction is "Université Jacob", but that's another campus, on the other side of Chambéry!)

There are plenty of buses, at least during the day: here is the timetable.

Plane

There is a small airport in Chambéry, but Lyon, Geneva and Grenoble get more flights. And they have efficient shuttles to Chambéry. The ones from Lyon even make a stop on campus.

Car

From Chambéry, take the fast road to "Le Bourget-du-Lac", and get out at "Le Bourget-du-Lac, campus scientifique".

Bike

Bikes may be rent at "vélostation", near Chambéry train station. There is a bicycle path ("voie verte") to the campus, of about 12km. Vélostation has maps of bicycle paths.

Sleeping

Participants can ask for a student room during registration. In case too many participants ask for a student room, priority will be given to students. This has the advantage of being very cheap and right on campus. The disadvantage is that this is on campus and that not many things happen there at nights. (But hey, (1) we're here to work, and (2) we can make things happen...)

Here are a few suggestions for accomodation:

• The Week-End hotel is relatively close, and beautifully situated : 5 minutes by car / 10 minutes by bike / 25 minutes by foot,
• The Art hotel, in the city centre, 50m from the train station. Bus A vers le campus.
• The Comfort hotel, similar.
• The Theatre, a bit further from the station and buses, but in a definitely cuter and more lively (pedestrian) area.

Eating

Lunch is not organised (to be confirmed).

Here are a few suggestions:

• La Panière : sandwiches, across the road near the lab,
• L'incontournable : kebab and hamburgers, across the road near the lab,
• several little restaurants in Le Bourget, for example:
  • le Prieuré (french traditional food),
  • la Casa (pizze),
  • le Chat Toqué (mostly a bar, but they serve original and good meals for lunch),
• other bakeries in Le Bourget.
  Slightly farther from the campus, near the lake:
  • le Calypso (mostly fish, rather basic and cheap),
  • le Restaurant du Port (a bit more elaborated),
  • la Brasserie du Lac (similar).
  In Voglans (5 min by car, 10 min by bike, please ask us!):
• chez Vincent : sandwiches with excellent "diots", traditional sausages from Savoy. Noisy, crowded, popular, tasty.
