Venue:

On 1-3 April, 2019, the workshop will be held at Meudon observatory, 5 place Jules Janssen, F-92190 Meudon, in the building 9, "Grande coupole" at CIAS (a map of Meudon observatory is available here and a map of Meudon city is available here).

Meudon observatory is easily reachable from Paris.

Accommodation:

Hotels are available near Paris observatory. Few possibilities exist in Meudon. Please make your reservations as soon as possible since tourists are numerous in Paris. Please choose an hotel near Montparnasse railway station from which you will reach Meudon ("Bellevue" station) after a ten-minute travel, near a station of the RER C which goes to Meudon ("Meudon-Val Fleury" station) or in Meudon (which is quite large without public transportation). A map of Meudon is available there.

Transportation:

Information on the subway, buses and tramways in Paris is available here as information on Paris airports.

The time-table of trains between Montparnasse railway station and Meudon is available here and the way back to Paris is given here. Be careful:
- all trains from Paris Montparnasse are not going to Bellevue;
- there are several railway stations in Meudon: one named "Meudon" and another one following "Meudon" is named "Bellevue". The timetable is given for "Bellevue".
The interactive time-table is available here.

You may get here the time-table of RER C trains to Meudon. Enter your departure station and "Meudon Val Fleury" as arrival station.
