Registration is now closed. If you haven’t registered and really want to attend, be in touch with the organizers and we’ll see what we can do…
Getting to Clermont:
By plane: Clermont-Ferrand Aulnat (CFE) is connected to Paris (CDG) by three daily flights.
By train: Paris (Bercy) to Clermont-Ferrand is a direct route, about 3h30, 4-6 daily. From Lyon, direct, 2h30, 6-8 trains daily.
Driving: Lyon to Clermont, 2 hr, 170 km (motorway, toll). Paris to Clermont, 5h, 425 km (motorway, toll).
Accomodation in Clermont:
Clermont-Ferrand s a large city with a choice of hotels. Most of the workshop-related activities will happen in downtown Clermont (close to Place de Jaude, the main hub of activity in town). We compiled a list of centrally located hotels (Les Hotels à Clermont-Fd) – for French colleagues, they are essentially the same that you can find in CNRS travel site (Goelett). Of course, there are many more, as well as airBNB, and even camping sites or holiday accomodation nearby if you have a car (there is a camping site in Ceyrat that can conceivably be reached by public transport, bus line 4).
Only the icebreaker on Wednesday evening will be held in the building of LMV, on the “Campus des Cézeaux” (Science site of Université Clermont-Auvergne). From Clermont center, teh LMV is easly reached using tram line A (stop “Cézeaux Pellez”). The tram runs until past midnight, although at a reduced frequency after 9 pm. Alternately, it is a 45 mn walk to downtown. Clermont also has a bike sharing service
Going from Clermont to Lyon:
If you are attending the Goldschmidt conference starting in Lyon on the Sunday 9th (or earlier if you participate to a workshop), there are several convenient options:
- Driving — 2 hours but not recommanded, trafic/parking in Lyon can be quite bad.
- By train, depending when you need to be in Lyon (e.g. if attending a workshop)
- On the Sunday, at your leisure. 6 direct trains from 7h04 to 19h50, about 2h30. 14h03 or maybe 15h02 (arr. Lyon 16h26 and 17h26, resp.) would bring you in Lyon comfortably in time for the Goldschmidt icebreaker.
- On the Saturday evening after the field trip:
- From Clermont, you would need to leave at 17h00 (at the latest) to be at 19h26 in Lyon, probably skipping the field trip
- The field trip bus will make a stop in Roanne, with trains to Lyon at 18h21 and 18h50 (a bit more than 1 hour to Lyon).
- On the Friday evening, last trains at 18h02 and 19h20 (2h30).
