To reach the Workshop venue from any place of the city, we suggest to make use of the public transportations. General information about public transportations in Paris are available on the website of the RATP. You can also directly plan public transportation itineraries using the following website:
http://www.ratp.fr/itineraires/fr/ratp/recherche-avancee.
Detailed instructions to reach the symposium venue from the international airports by public transportation (train, bus) or by taxi are provided below on this page.
Train and subway
Charles de Gaulle Airport is well-served by the transportation network, so you should have no problems getting to the city. By the RER B (follow the sign "Paris by train" in the airport; one way ticket cost around €10), by taxi (around €60). Both Air France and SNCF run buses into the centre of Paris, for between €10 and €20.
Trains/RER are quicker than buses and perhaps more convenient especially from Aérogare 2, which gets you to central Paris and to the RER/Métro complex in around 40 minutes. There are seven stops on RER-B within Paris; four of these offer connections (fr. correspondances) to certain métro lines, as follows:
• Cité-Universitaire
• Denfert-Rochereau (métro lines 4 & 6)
• Port-Royal
• Luxembourg
• St-Michel Notre-Dame (métro lines 4 & 10; RER line C)
• Châtelet-Les Halles (métro lines 1, 4, 7, 11, & 14; RER lines A & D)
• Gare du Nord (métro lines 2, 4, & 5; RER lines D & E)
So, in summary, if you want to use public transportation from the Airport, you should follow the sign "Paris by train" at the airport, and take the RER B train to Paris. If you're going directly to Sorbonne University, stop at Saint-Michel and take line 10 to Jussieu. You can plan other public transportation itineraries using the following website: http://www.ratp.fr/itineraires/fr/ratp/recherche-avancee.
Taxi
The rates, which are regulated by the Paris Prefect of Police, and vary according to the time of day and the zone of travel (urban, suburban, and beyond). In normal traffic and excluding supplements, expect a fare of about €60. The distance from Roissy/CDG, central Paris (75001) is approximately 40 km (25 miles). Consult travel times for each "arrondissement".
Train and subway
There are a number of options for transferring from Orly airport to the City of Paris, or to Roissy/CDG for connections with international flights. A few will also offer transport to certain suburbs.
The airport is also indirectly connected to Paris downtown by the Orlyval (automatic métro), a short 8-minute hop to the RER station 'Antony' in the suburb of Arcueil. From there you can take the RER-B rail line (regional métro system) north, directly into the heart of Paris. The journey takes about 35 minutes to reach the Châtelet-Les Halles RER/métro complex (1st arrondissement). There are seven stops on RER-B within Paris; four of these offer connections (fr. correspondances) to certain métro lines, as follows:
• Cité-Universitaire
• Denfert-Rochereau (métro lines 4 & 6)
• Port-Royal • Luxembourg
• St-Michel Notre-Dame (métro lines 4 & 10; RER line C)
• Châtelet-Les Halles (métro lines 1, 4, 7, 11, & 14; RER lines A & D)
• Gare du Nord (métro lines 2, 4, & 5; RER lines D & E)
Orlyval operates between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., leaving every 4 to 7 minutes from each Orly terminal (Orly Sud and Orly Ouest). Tickets for this service can be purchased in all métro and RER stations, and also at a special Orlyval sales desk in Orly airport.
The one-way Orlyval fare is €7.60 for adults and €3.80 for children (ages 4-10) just to reach the 'Antony' station, or €9.85 for adults and €4.90 for children to head into the center of Paris - rather expensive in light of the short distance involved! Another valid fare, when purchased for Zones 1-4, is the Paris Visite pass (1, 2, 3 or 5 days) - a much better choice if you'll be traveling often on the métro and/or buses during your stay.
Taxi
Since Orly is the closest airport to Paris, taxis can be a quick - if somewhat expensive - way to go. We do not recommend this method at rush hour, since fares can mount quickly while stuck in traffic!
The rates, which are regulated by the Paris Prefect of Police, vary according to the time of day and the zone of travel (urban, suburban, and beyond). In normal traffic and excluding supplements, expect a fare between Orly Airport and Paris to range from €30 to €45, depending on the "arrondissement".
In addition to the metered amount, there is a supplement of about €1 for each piece of luggage, as well as €2.70 for a fourth passenger. Families traveling with infants should keep in mind that taxis will not have a child seat available.
When you phone for a taxi to return from Paris back to the airport, the meter starts running from the point where the taxi was dispatched - which could be anywhere in the city. Consequently, the fare showing on the meter may already be €7-10 by the time you board the vehicle at your hotel.
The distance from Orly to central Paris (75001) is roughly 19 km or 12 miles (consult travel times for each "arrondissement").
The symposium does not provide any special arrangement for the accommodation. The Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle, Hôpital La Pitié Salpétrière, is located on the border between the Quartier Latin (Fifth arrondissement) and the Thirteenth arrondissement. The Quartier Latin, where there is also the main campus of Université Pierre et Marie Curie, La Sorbonne, the Collège de France and the Ecole Normale Supérieure, is a living area with a lot of hotels. There are also several hotels which are located near Place d'Italie, at the beginning of the thirteenth arrondissement, near Hôpital La Pitié Salpétrière. Participants are invited to book their hotel by themselves from their favourite travel agency or booking sites.
