Dislocations 2004: Access and Shuttles

Accommodation for all attendees is available at the site of the conference (see: Location and Lodging).
Optional lodging should be found in the close area, but that implies that you have your own car since VVF La Canterelle is a few Km off.

Access:

  • By air: La Colle-sur-Loup is located approximately 15 minutes from Nice International Airport. The International Nice-Riviera Airport, a major airline transport hub, is the largest airport outside of Paris. It handled 6,6 million passengers in 1996 and surpassing European airports such as Geneva and Lisbon. Daily connections from most major cities in the world are provided by many flight compagnies. Over 30 daily flights to and from Paris (1.5 hour flights) exist.
    The first and the last day of the conference, special conference's shuttles will be scheduled. Alternatively you can take a taxi (estimated cost should be about 40-45 Euros) or regular buses going from the airport to "La Colle-sur-Loup".
  • by train: 6 km from Cagnes/Mer and 15 km from Antibes (the 'TGV' high-speed train closest station). About 15 daily TGV train to and from Paris (5.30 hour trip) exist.
  • by car (Freeway A8, Exit Cagnes/Mer nƒ47). Attention, note that there are two VVF at La Colle-sur-Loup, please make sure you keep following signs for the VVF La Canterelle "La Bergerie" which is uphill.

    Shuttles:

  • Shuttle service is organized. However, this service is provided only on Sunday 12 and on Friday 17th afternoon after the last session at noon. We anticipated need for shuttles according to following time table:

    Sunday 12th- 13H30From Antibes TGV Station and then Nice Airport (T1+T2)
    Sunday 12th- 16H00From Antibes TGV Station and then Nice Airport (T1+T2)
    Sunday 12th- 19H00From Antibes TGV Station and then Nice Airport (T1+T2)
    Friday 17th- 13H00To Nice Airport (T1+T2)
    Friday 17th- 13H00To Antibes TGV Station and then Nice Airport (T1+T2)
    Friday 17th- 14H30To Antibes TGV Station and then Nice Airport (T1+T2)

    The time mentionned in this table is the time of departure from the "Antibes TGV station" on Sunday 12th and from "La Colle-sur-Loup" on Friday 17th. Estimated travel time between the "Antibes TGV Station" and "Nice Airport" is 30 min. Conference buses will pick-up participants outside the station and the airport terminals T1 and T2 on the exit lane and should be easily identified by a front poster "Dislocations 2004"

  • There is, also, at Nice airport (Internationnal T1) a regular shuttle (N°400/410) going from the bus station to La Colle-sur-Loup. Here is the 400/410 bus (time table). The bus ticket is less than 4 Euros and can be paid directly to the bus driver. Arriving at la Colle-sur-Loup get out of the bus at the bus stop call "Le platane" (Mentionning to the bus driver that you ar going to the VVF "La Bergerie", he should be able to signal you this stop). Yet the VVF is still 15 minutes walk uphill from the bus stop and this may be a little tough unless you call us (VVF secretary: 04 93 32 96 96) before you get into the bus so that a car can be send to pick you up.

  • Another possibility is that you take a taxi. Estimated cost should be about 40-45 Euros. We are however extremely sorry to say that like in some other places in the world, taxi fares can be subject to significant, irrational variations. In case you arrive at times where no bus service is available, please call us since we may have a car on its way at that precise time. Should you have to take a taxi, make sure that the fare is agreed before and that the driver will provide you with a receipt indicating point of pick up, destination, day and time (all four details are important in defining taxi fares).
