Lodging and accomodation information for participants to CITCON Paris 2009

Paris has *lots* of hotels, but they are not known to be budget-friendly. Here a few tips that can help.

Plan your travels with the Paris public transportation system here: [1]. A good system, but it fails to tell you the price of the tickets (or the travel zones you are crossing).

  • Campings in Paris: [2]
    • expect a good hour to get from the camping in the Bois de Boulogne to ISEP; also, while the area is well-known to families that want a walk in the woods, it can get quite dodgy at night, though I expect the camping to be just fine (Eric)
  • Formule 1, Porte de Châtillon: [3]. At 40-45€, probably the cheapest hotel you can get in the vicinity, a view on the highway included. 10-15 mins to get to metro station Porte d'Orléans, then 15 mins by metro.
    • not the ugliest part of Paris, but not great either -- still, for the price, it has a reasonable good location (Eric)
  • FIAP Jean Monnet [4] is another cheap option, especially for those willing to share rooms. From 57€ for a single room to 26€ in a room with 6 beds. ~20 mins by public transportation to ISEP.
    • Looks like a youth hostel, though not sure they officially qualify as one. Lots of groups of foreign youngsters there. Very professional. (Eric)
  • Accor Hotels [5] has an excellent selection of hotels at medium prices in Paris
    • the best might be Ibis Alesia-Montparnasse [6] ~80 € -- you'll need to take the metro to get to ISEP
    • also, check out the Mercure Montparnasse [7] (~115€) and Mercure Raspail [8] (~100€), the later is possibly the closest to ISEP you can get, but both are within 10 mins walking distance to ISEP.
  • those Marriott-inclined will have to go to the Marriott Rive Gauche [9], very close to FIAP Jean Monnet. Starts at 160€.
  • Holiday Inn Gare Montparnasse [10]. ~250€
