WHERE TO STAY?

If you haven’t booked yet and are only staying for the time of the conference, we recommend you book through this link http://www.booking.com/searchresults.en-gb.html?aid=314922;label=goutte-dor-RJ64VlodmoptAWYKy61RxAS9102353712%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg;sid=ce2b5053e2802c6f715bf8b509497c6f;dcid=1;landmark=56484  on Booking.com, it will give you a good choice close to the facilities. Being by the metro line 4 (Gare du Nord for instance) is good.

If you are staying longer, it will be nicer for you to be more central and be able to cook your own food, have a small apartment. In this case we recommend http://www.citadines.com/france/paris/republique.html
Of course you can also find a room or an apartment with https://www.airbnb.com or, for the more adventurous, www.couchsurfing.org

UNTIL THEN?

Please be ready to upload a little description of your organization so we - and the speakers -  can all read up a little on each particpant organization.


Feel free to contact us at any time until then!

All the best,
HIA France
