We would like to draw your attention to an important practical matter :
- the « Fête des Lumières » in Lyon is a very popular event which draws 2-3 millions of tourists for four days around December 8th (this year’s exact dates are not known yet, but it should be from Dec. 7th to 10th).
- therefore, it is VERY important and URGENT that you book your hotel room for EC589 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You are responsible for doing this.
In terms of location, you have two options:
- You can choose a hotel in Downtown Lyon. The Office du Tourisme et des Congrès du Grand Lyon We provides a list of hotels on the website www.lyon-france.com/
- You can choose to stay in the Campanile hotel
https://www.campanile.com/fr/hotels/campanile-lyon-nord-ecully
which is a 3’ walk away from the Colloquium venue at École Centrale de Lyon. Please note that this location is about 1/2h away by public transport from Downtown Lyon.
