Most problably, people attending ISR 2006 will be arriving by train to Nancy. Nancy only has a regional airport, so also people arriving to the nearest international airpors (Paris, Luxemburg, Frankfurt, etc.) will probably complete their journey by train.

Reaching the LORIA Site from the Train Station

The easiest way to reach the LORIA, where ISR is going to take place from the train station, is to take Tram 1 (this is the only tram line in Nancy).

In the map you can see the situation of the Train Station and the nearest stop of Tram 1. You have to take the tram in the direction Vandoeuvre, Chu Brabois. And step down in the Callot stop (it is a 20 minutes ride).

There are automatic ticket machines (you'll need coins though, bills or cards are not accepted) in the stop of the tram. You cannot buy the ticket on the tram, so remember to buy the ticket before boarding the tram.

ISR 2006 will take place in the building of LORIA. In the map you can see highlighted the building of LORIA where ISR 2006 is going to take place. We have also marked in white the path from the nearest tram station (stop Callot, of Tram 1). It takes about 5 minutes walking from the tram station to the LORIA site. Here is a map of the LORIA location.

Here is a detailled plan of the conference location. Coffee breaks and lunches will also be taken there. In the LORIA building, you will be able to get an Internet connection, either in the room with machines, or using your own notebook with WiFi connection.
