Bordeaux is the largest city of the Aquitaine Region in South-West of France. It is known worldwide for its vineyards, chateaux, gastronomy and historical places.

Getting There

Traveling to Bordeaux is very easy. Bordeaux hosts an international airport with connections to major cities in Europe (such as Rome, Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Dublin or Stockholm) as well as Paris and other cities in France. It is also directly connected to Paris by the high-speed TGV train.

Going from the airport to the conference site

Here is a map of the airport.

- The public bus line Liane 1 will take you directly to Bordeaux downtown (stop Les Quinconces). The ride is about one hour long, and Liane 1 departures are every 10 minutes (on weekdays) to 30 minutes (Sundays or early mornings); more precise schedules are available here (in French). Ticket price is about 1 euro, and can be purchased on the bus.
From Les Quinconces, you need to take the tramway Line B, towards Pessac Centre, and stop at Victoire. The ride is about 10 minutes long, the ticket you bought for your bus journey can be reused for the tram.


- To avoid traffic, from the airport, you can also choose to take Liane 1 and stop at Lycées de Mérignac, from here switch to the tramway Line A towards Floirac, and stop at Hôtel de Ville (city hall), from where you can take the tram Line B, towards Pessac Centre, and stop at Victoire.


- The Jet'Bus shuttle service is another way of going to Bordeaux from the airport. The final stop of this shuttle is the train station. The journey is about 45 minutes long, buses depart every 45 minutes. Note that the bus ticket is sensibly more expensive than the price of public transportation.


- Of course, taxis and car rentals are also available at the airport.


Going from the train station to the conference site

The public bus line Liane 11 will take you directly from Bordeaux Saint Jean train station to Victoire. The ride is about 15 minutes long and buses depart about every 15 minutes. The schedule is available here. Ticket price is about 1 euro, and can be purchased on the bus.
