Practical information

Conference Venue

–

The conference will take place in Bordeaux at the campus on “Place de la Victoire” (Victoire square), located between the train station and the historical centre of Bordeaux. The address is: Campus Victoire, 3ter Pl. de la Victoire – 33000 Bordeaux. As seen on the map below, the building is surrounded by three streets: rue Candale on the front (indicated as “Place de la Victoire”), rue Broca on the left, rue Gintrac on the right. The left entrance rue Broca, between buildings I and A on the map, leads easily to building B where the parallel sessions will take place. The main entrance on “Place de la Victoire” leads to building P on the map, where the Amphitheater Gintrac is located (venue for the keynote lectures).

Hotels and old town

–

We do not recommended specific hotels but there are many places around the conference venue and in the old Bordeaux. The map below shows the journey by tram (line B) from the conference venue (Place de la Victoire) to the Wine museum (Cité du vin). All the area along this tram line is the old town. For hotels, we recommend places at a walkable distance near Victoire square or up to Saint Pierre district (or further North but close to the tram line for an easy access to the conference).

For visits, we recommend in particular the “Place de la Bourse” (on the quays) and the Saint Pierre district, with a stroll that can lead you to the Grand Théâtre, the “Place Pey Berland” (where the Cathedral is), the “Place Camille Jullian” (check the arty cinema located in an old church!), and of course the different wine bars on the way…
