The conference will be held at Saint Paul’s INRA center, which is located at about 7 km from Avignon’s city center (see the ▼ map below ▼).
►► Here it is a summary of some practical information to join the venue ►► To reach the INRA from the city center you can take one of these bus: number 3 or 30. Both bus need normally half an hour to reach the INRA but at this moment the city of Avignon is interested by big road works for the implementation of the railway, so we advice to consider around 45 minutes (or something more) from the city center to the INRA.
►► Timetable for the bus 3 and 30 and their itinerary. The name of the bus stop is (simply) “INRA“.

You can reach Avignon by train from all the main France cities. From Paris Gare de Lyon it will take 2h40 to get the Avignon TGV train station.
