ACCOMODATION

We have selected some hotels for you. Actually, there are 11 of them, for an approximate total of 110 (single and double) rooms. Their description follows. In addition, we have booked all the rooms in the "Maison du seminaire".

Please choose your hotel and we will confirm your reservation! Until April 10th, 2000, you can book your hotel-room at the given special rates via our secretariat. Just send an E-mail to Marie-Helene.Zeitoun@sophia.inria.fr Please tell us precisely the hotel of your choice, the period of reservation, the number of nights, your name(s), and the number of (single, double, etc...) rooms. First come, first served. After this date you will have to make your own hotel reservation.

Please be extremely careful if making your own reservation: hotels are pretty much full for this period !!

Payment of hotel is not included in the conference fee. Participants pay for themselves on departure. Please note: Reservation cut off deadline: April 10th, 2000. After this date, our blocks are released, and rooms at special rate may not be available.

The hotels we have chosen are in the standard category (2-stars in the French rating). The closets and shower (or bath) are inside the room. The "maison du seminaire" is something completely different: The "maison du seminaire" is where the conference takes place. It has a limited number of rooms, and we have already booked them all. Comfort is "clean but simple", i.e. rooms often have 2 or 3 beds, and for most of them, the shower and/or the closets are not in the room. We would call it "spartan", or "monastic". On the other hand, the price is cheap (less than 50 USD) and most rooms have a superb view on the sea. There is a small beach just across the street.

As you can see on the map, some hotels are at walking distance, and some are not. In any case, there is a city bus service in Nice, and one bus stop close to "maison du seminaire". There are rental cars in the airport (but parking space in town is a famous big problem in Nice). No subway. Nice international airport is very close to town (see map below), with a bus connection.
