The MOTIF kick-off meeting will be held in Saint-Lambert-des-Bois (near St-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, which is not too far from LSCE and Gif-sur-Yvette), in the Centre Port-Royal conference centre, from Sunday March 16th (arrival in the evening) to Tuesday March 18th (departure around 16:30).
It is not very easy to get from St-Remy RER station to Centre Port-Royal. It is important that everybody is on time on Monday, so please arrive on Sunday evening!
St-Remy is about 1:30 to 2 hours from CDG airport, 45 mn from Paris, 30 mn from Orly. Then you need a taxi or someone with a car to get to Centre Port-Royal. You may need twice as much time if you do not speak French and are not used to Paris and the surrounding area....
You can get additional information about travelling around Paris on the SCNF web site. We have listed below a train that should allow you to arrive just on time for dinner, and the LAST trains from CDG airport (Roissy 1 terminal) to Saint-Rémy.
Make sure you take a train that goes as far as
Saint-Rémy. Don't just take any southbound RER B (RER B going
to Robinson are on the wrong part of the fork!). If you are on the
wrong train, you can still change in Bourg-la-Reine station.
If you miss the last RER B, you will be on your own and will have to
take a taxi from CDG airport to the conference centre, which will be
quite expensive...

You will have to call a taxi when you arrive in Saint-Rémy,
so it may be a good idea to buy a calling card (50 Units Telecard - 7.41
EUR) in the airport!
We have a deal with taxi AST (phone number in table below) and will
give them with a list of names and approximate arrival time, but you
will still have to call them from the Saint-Rémy RER B station!
You won't have to pay the taxi, LSCE will. Just tell them that you are
attending the Réunion MOTIF à Port-Royal and
that they will be paid by LSCE/CEA. If you have requested a taxi on
Sunday evening, please check your place and time of arrival on the participants'
list.
Do not forget to write down the address and phone number of the
conference centre (it may be a good idea to hit the Print button of

motif mailing list on March
12th (don't forget to fill in by hand Pascale and Olivier
phone numbers in the table below...).
