Campus map:
We are located in the "IPRA" Building (# 3 in the map below, in blue), the building closest to the "Leclerc" Shopping Mall across the street, on the second floor ("premier étage").
Here is a picture of the building.
The workshop will be held in room "Amphithéâtre G" on the first floor ("rez-de-chaussée") of the Duboué building.

To reach the campus :
By car :

From the A64 freeway (from Bayonne or Toulouse), take Exit # 10.

By public transportation (bus) :
A convenient public bus service to/from downtown is provided by STAP ("Société des Transports de l'Agglomération Paloise").
Take either line 2 or line 6 and get off at the "Leclerc" stop, or line 4 and get off at the "Facultés" stop.
For more information on these lines (including detailed interactive maps), visit the STAP bus service web site.
One-way tickets cost approximately 1 euro.
Weather forecast :
Click on the following link to see the weather forecast. Temperatures are given in Celsius degrees, not Fahrenheit. To convert from one to the other, use the following temperature conversion web site, or the formulas:
Tf = (9/5) * Tc + 32 = 1.8 * Tc + 32 where Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius and Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
Tc = (5/9) * (Tf - 32) = 0.55556 * (Tf - 32) where Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius and Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
Currency :
The official currency used in France is the euro (symbol: € or EUR). Click on the following link to get current conversion rates.
