Practical Information

Paris has excellent high-speed rail connections:

Gare du Nord – for Eurostar (London) and Thalys (Brussels, Amsterdam)
Gare de Lyon, Gare Montparnasse, and Gare de l’Est serve cities across France and Europe.

Paris is served by three international airports:

Charles de Gaulle (CDG) – the main international hub, 30 km from the city center.
Orly (ORY) – mostly for European and domestic flights, 20 km from central Paris.
Beauvais (BVA) – a budget-friendly option, located 80 km away (popular with low-cost airlines).

From the airports, you can reach the city by train (RER), bus, taxi, or shuttle services.

If you are driving, be prepared for traffic and limited parking. Public transport is usually a better option once you are in Paris.

Once in Paris, getting around is easy:

metro – fast and reliable, with 16 lines covering the city
RER trains – ideal for reaching the suburbs and major landmarks (like Versailles or Disneyland Paris)
buses & trams – a good way to see the city above ground
walking – many of Paris’s sights are within walking distance of each other

From Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport or from Gare du Nord, take RER line B (headed South, towards Robinson, Massy-Palaiseau, or Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse) until Denfert-Rochereau or Cité Universitaire.
From Orly (ORY) airport, take metro line 14 until Olympiades, or the Orlyval light rail to Antony.
From Olympiades, take bus number 62 (headed West, towards Porte de Saint-Cloud) to Vergniaud. Once you exit the bus, turn the corner into rue Barrault (itinerary).
From Antony take RER line B (headed North, towards Aéroport Charles de Gaulle, or Mitry - Claye) until Denfert-Rochereau or Cité Universitaire.
From Denfert-Rochereau, either walk 20 minutes to Inria (itinerary) or take metro line 6 (headed East, towards Nation) to Corvisart.
From Cité Universitaire, walk 12 minutes to Inria (itinerary). As you exit the station, immediately enter Parc Montsouris, and cross the park, walking North-East.
From Corvisart, walk 7 minutes to Inria (itinerary).

Here are some suggestions for accomodation. The distance of the hotel to Inria is indicated in minutes on foot.
