Airport

Nice Airport: http://en.nice.aeroport.fr/

Transportation on Site

The taxi is awfully expensive, count around 50 € to go from Nice Airport to Antibes.
The bus from Antibes to INRIA is the Express 100. It starts "Place De Gaulle", the closest stop to INRIA is "Templiers", costs 1€. From there it will only take you 3 minutes to reach INRIA.

Lodging

Prefer Antibes to any other locations, Sophia-Antipolis is very badly connected to places to sustain you at night, and the buses stop after 20:00/20:30

• Rooms have been blocked for only 5 people in the hotel l'Etoile (the rooms are blocked until November 5th):
  • http://www.hoteletoile.com/
  • phone number: +33 4 93 34 26 30
  • address: 2 Avenue Gambetta, 06600 Antibes, France
  (54€ per night for a single room, 6.50€ for breakfast) Also here is a map with the hotel, and the departure of the bus line 100: hotel_etoile.pdf

There are other addresses you might find attractive, but I have made no agreement with them:

• Hôtel Relais du Postillon (not far from the other, good reputation among the visitors of INRIA)
  • 8 Rue Championnet, 06600 Antibes, France
  • http://www.relaisdupostillon.com/
  • +33 4 93 34 20 77

For the other hotels, Apparently you should avoid "Le Collier". Then I have no reports on how the other hotels in Antibes compares. But if you can't find a room in the above hotels, try others near the rail station or within the old town. This way you will get an easy access to the bus (the Express 100).
