How to get to the venue 

Public transportation in Paris 

Route results on Google Maps are rather poor. Recommended apps are (unfortunately you only find the apps on proprietary stores):

In Paris, fare costs 2.05€ for buses and tramways and 2.55€ for RER and metros. You cannot use a bus-tram ticket for RER-metros and vice-versa. We recommend either to get a Navigo EASY card when arriving or to use the IDFM application (Google play , Appstore ) to buy tickets directly on your phone (using NFC).

Airport access 

If you come to Paris by plane, you can get to the center of Paris using RER B (Charles de Gaulle airport and Orly airport using OrlyVal for the later) and Metro 14 (Orly airport only but recommended for that airport). Warning! You have to take the special airport ticket which costs 14€.

Caution! There will be some construction work on the RER B during part of the event (Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th). Service suspended all day between Denfert-Rochereau and La Croix de Berny/Robinson. Please check this site for more information and alternative paths (only in French). Recommended transportation apps should provide trips taking into account the disruption.
