Travelling to Rennes and Agrocampus Ouest

. By air The easiest way is by flying into Rennes Saint-Jacques Airport (http://www.rennes.aeroport.fr/ ) via (Charles de Gaulle CDG) or .

Then take a taxi to Agrocampus Ouest (sometime known as the “Ecole d’agronomie” and located in Rennes, “rue de Saint Brieuc”). There is no bus service from the Airport to Rennes down town and Agrocampus.

Rennes Saint Jacques is a rather small airport and there are only 3 flights from Paris each day (operated by Air France, starting at 9:00, 13:25 (a bit late) and 20:00). Depending on your time of arrival in Paris, it could be easier to travel to Rennes by train. (You can also fly into Rennes via Lyon)

. By TGV train From Charles de Gaulle airport, either : - take the train directly from the Roissy Charles de Gaulle station (around 10 mn by feet from any terminal) to Rennes. The easiest way… but in the morning there is only one train at 10:28 (four trains per day). Journey time is about 3 hours. - or, take the special bus (“navette pour Paris”) from the airport to the train station “” in the center of Paris (allow about 1 hour from arriving in airport to arriving at Montparnasse). Then, there are regular trains (every 30 minutes or every hour depending on the time of day) to Rennes. Journey time is about 2 hours 10 mins. Note that the total journey time is almost the same via Roissy station or Montparnasse station (around 3 hours). Going via Montparnasse is a bit more complicated (you have to take the airport bus), but there are much more trains from Montparnasse.

You can buy your TGV ticket in advance at http://www.voyages-sncf.com/

From Rennes station: . take a taxi to Agrocampus Ouest (sometime known as the “Ecole d’agronomie” and located “rue de Saint Brieuc”). . or take the subway direction J.F. Kennedy and stop at station République. Then take the bus n°4, direction Beauregard, stop at “Marbeuf-Brest”. Agrocampus is at 400 m, on your left in the rue de Saint-Brieuc. . or take the subway direction J.F.Kennedy and stop at station Villejean University. From there, you can go to Agrocampus by feet (around 15 mins, 1km) … but you need a plan to find your way (see below).

. To find the meeting room on campus, look at: http://www2.agrocampus-ouest.fr/halieutique/PICS/plan.pdf We will meet in the “salle de réunion halieutique” in Batiment n° 4, first floor.

Accommodation:

I have booked some rooms on the Campus for the study group participants (rooms for visiting scientists, in the ”pavillon de passage” batiment 4bis on the plan, 16 m2 with a small kitchenette, see: http://www.agrocampus-ouest.fr/infoglueDeliverLive/themes/vie- etudiante/Logement/rennes/pavillon-passage )

The rate is 35,30 € per night + 2,50 € for breakfast. The keys of the rooms will be available from Monday morning (if you plan to arrive the evening before, let me know).

If you want to book such a room, just send an Email to Catherine.Lepenven@agrocampus- ouest .fr, with a copy to me ( [email protected] ) before August 30 th . Please specify your date and approximate hour for arrival and departure.

From the campus, you can go down town Rennes by feet (15-20 mins) or by bus. If you prefer to stay directly down town (what I can understand), you can of course book a room in an hotel, for instance through: http://hotel.voyages-sncf.com/hotel-rennes.html . If you want to be down town and close to Agrocampus, the place des Lices (“Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Rennes” on the map below) is a good choice.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any question. But take care: I will be out of my office from the 2 until the 25 th of August.
