PRACTICAL INFORMATION

 

PRE-CONFERENCE MEETING

The gate of the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, where our conference will take place on Wednesday 08/02/2023 from 09:30 AM to 16:00 PM French Time, is strictly controlled by the university security personnel. We need to submit to the security service of the university the list of participants and to prepare a badge for everyone. Every participant needs to show her/his badge to the security personnel when entering the building. The badges will be distributed to those who got registered as conference participants. To get your badge, our students Célia Campolo and Samuel Hérédia will be happy to give you by hand your badge in front of the gate of the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne at no. 12 Place du Panthéon, Paris 5th district, on the following dates:

Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at 17:00-18:00 PM French Time; or

Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at 09:00-09:30 AM French Time.

 

PARIS PART OF THE CONFERENCE

The conference will take place at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Centre Panthéon Room 6 (Entry: 12 Place du Panthéon 75005 Paris, second floor, stair M, access by Galerie Soufflot). The conference is organised in two plenary sessions: morning session at 09:30-12:00 AM French Time and 14:00-16:00 PM French Time.

 

LUNCH BREAK AT 12:00-14:00 PM FRENCH TIME

There are many restaurants in the proximity of Centre Panthéon: Place de la Sorbonne, Quartier Latin, Place de Maubert-Mutualité, etc. If you are interested in Asian Restaurants, the closest one is LE PETIT SAIGON at 30 rue des Carmes around 50-100 meters from the Panthéon. Another one is TAENG THAI at 33 Place Maubert around 200 meters from the Panthéon.

 

MOVING TO LE HAVRE

If you wish to participate physically in the Le Havre part of the conference, you need to be in Le Havre from Thursday 09/02 morning at 09:00 AM French Time. The most convenient way is to go to Le Havre on Wednesday 08/02 evening after the Paris conference. The most practical way is by train from Saint Lazare Railway Station at 18:40 or 19:40 PM French Time. You are not supposed to bring your luggages to the university but trust them at the hotel where you stay in Paris. After the conference, at 16:00 PM, you need to take back your luggages and bring them with you to Le Havre. You need some time to move from the university to your hotel and from your hotel to the railway station. So, leaving by train for Le Havre at 18:40 PM French Time will be good. It will be nice to travel together with other participants in the same train. If there are a lot of seats available, you may take any unoccupied seat in order to get together with other participants. It is also possible to go to Le Havre on Thursday 09/02 morning at 06:40 AM French Time.

STRIKES

It was announced that there will be a general strike on Tuesday 07/02. Public transport will be rare or absent completely. If you find one, it may be crowded. The best way is walking. Another possibility is taxi. Smaller strike was announced for Wednesday 08/02. Public transport will be available. So far, there is no cancellation nor postponement for the train Paris-Le Havre. The trains Paris-Le Havre on 08/02/2023 at 18:40 PM and 19:40 PM French Time stay so far unchanged.

 

MOVING BACK TO PARIS

The conference will end on Friday 10/02/2023 evening. So, the best time to go back to Paris is Saturday 11/02/2023 afternoon with the train at 15:03 PM French Time. On Saturday morning, we will organise a Le Havre City Visit until lunch time.

If you do not want to participate in the city tour, you may also leave Le Havre for Paris on Friday 10/02/2023 evening by train at 19:08 or 20:08 PM French Time.
