Venues

Workshop spaces

We will use two venues for the workshop: the talks will take place at the Club de la Chasse, while the reception and poster session will be held at the Rice Global Paris Center. The two venues are located very close to one another in the heart of the Marais district, and the neighborhood is highly walkable.

The neighborhood

Getting around Le Marais

The Marais is a centrally located district of Paris that has preserved a dense urban fabric dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. It is known for its concentration of elegant noble residences (hôtels particuliers), many of which have been transformed into museums and other public buildings (Musée Picasso, Musée des Archives Nationales, the Musée Carnavalet, the Hôtel de Sully, etc.) all within a short walking distance of the Center. Also within easy reach are numerous cutting-edge art galleries and exhibition spaces (Lafayette Anticipations, the Pompidou Center, the Galerie de l’architecture, the Gaîté Lyrique among others).

Due to the historic nature of the area and the narrowness of the streets, we recommend prioritizing the use of public transportation and walking over taxis or Uber when navigating in Le Marais.

  • Nearest métro to Rice Global Paris Center: Hôtel de Ville and Saint-Paul.
  • Useful stations around Club de la Chasse: Rambuteau and Saint-Sébastien – Froissart.
Travel and stay

Arriving in Paris (Airports)

Three airports serve Paris:

  • Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle: Most US flights operate from this airport.
  • Orly: Located south of Paris, primarily connecting to Europe and North Africa.
  • Beauvais: Specializes in low-cost airlines, with an 80-minute commute to Paris via a bus service to Porte Maillot, on the western edge of the city.
Accommodation

Participants should arrange their own accommodations. For attendees seeking a convenient option, we recommend the Ibis Paris Bastille Opéra 11ème, located at 15 rue Bréguet, 75011 Paris, about a 20-minute walk from either workshop venue. Unfortunately, Paris hotels generally do not offer discounted rates or room blocks. A short list of alternative hotel options is available in the spreadsheet linked below.

From the airport to Paris

There are multiple options for traveling from the airport to Paris including taxi, Uber, and public transport:

  • Taxi: To hire a taxi, follow the official taxi signs posted in the airport until you arrive at the taxi stand. You may encounter people trying to usher you into taxis prior to arriving at the taxi stand, but do not use these; they are likely scams that will overcharge you for their services. Even with long lines, you’ll get a taxi fairly quickly any time of day. Airport taxis operate using set prices (check here for the latest prices for Roissy and Orly).
  • Uber: It is possible to get an Uber from the airport, and the set rates for city taxis make them a more attractive option. See the Uber website for further instructions.
  • Public transit: There are dedicated bus lines and suburban train options from Orly and Roissy. See the Paris transport authority (RATP) website and Paris Aéroports website for further details.
