JIM 2000 Transportation
	Version française

To reach Bordeaux

• By car, you will likely take the south France highways, then the town bypass (called "rocade").
• By plane, you will arrive at the international airport of Bordeaux - Mérignac.
• By train, you will arrive at the Saint Jean station, near the center of Bordeaux (see the tourism pages).

To find your hotel

If you don't know Bordeaux, you will best have to find the Victoire square or the Gambetta square at the center of town, then find a way to your hotel. The Victoire square is located close to the left of the Saint Jean station on the map of the town bypass. On the very same map, you can find the Gambetta square to the left (and up) of the Victoire square. Many hotels are located in that area.

• From the airport, take the bus called "navette" that goes from the airport to the Gambetta square and to the Saint Jean station (approximately 40 FF).
• From the station, take the bus #7 or #8 to the Victoire square and the Gambetta square.

You can take a look at the yellow pages. To get a map, fill in the name of your hotel ("Nom") and the name of the town ("Localité").

The venue for the conference

JIM 2000 will take place at the ENSERB, a school on the campus of Talence. Here is the address:

The campus of Talence is vast. Several universities take place there, among which the Bordeaux 1 University. To locate the ENSERB, use this map. The center of Bordeaux and the Saint Jean station are situated away past the top right corner of the map, where you can see the F, U and G bus routes. Closer maps of the Bordeaux 1 University can be found here and here.

• From the Gambetta square, take the bus #7 or #8 in the direction of the Saint Jean Station. Stop at "bourse du travail". Then take the F bus (Eurofac) and stop at "Lot. Fanning Lafontaine". The route is approximately 1 hour long.
• From the Victoire square, take the F bus (Eurofac). Stop at "Lot. Fanning Lafontaine". The route is approximately 45 minutes long. Eventually, you can take the U or G buses, but you will have to stop near the entrance of the university at "Espeleta" (at the top right corner of the map), then walk through the campus to the ENSERB.
• By car, from the town bypass, exit #16 (Gradignan, Talence-Domaine Universitaire). Follow the direction of Bordeaux.
