How to go to Calais by train.
The timetable of the French railway company SNCF may be consulted
on the internet at www.voyages-sncf.com, and also at www.bahn.de, with the last site in particular
useful for checking on local trains.
Calais has two train stations, "Calais Ville" and "Calais-Fréthun", with
Calais-Fréthun located at the high-speed rail link between Paris and
London. Some fast trains ("TGV") stop at this latter station, which lies outside Calais
in the countryside. So if you arrive there, you still have to go to Calais Ville.
Every high-speed train stopping
in Fréthun has a connection by either local train or shuttle bus ("navette") to
Calais Ville.
Currently, from Monday to Friday, the second alternative (connection by shuttle bus to Calais Ville)
only holds for a single fast train stopping in Fréthun,
that is, the TGV arriving at 20:22. All other
high-speed trains are connected by local train to Calais Ville.
Usually
these local trains run from the platform where you got off the TGV.
Concerning the shuttle bus,
you may find it by following the signs "exit" ("sortie") from the platform where
you left your train. After some ups and downs, these signs lead you through an underground
passage into the lower floor of the terminal building.
There you have to go straight on, cross that building (20 m) and leave it
through the glass door. The shuttle bus is then right in front of you.
As concerns departures from Calais-Fréthun, on Saturdays the TGVs leaving
at 7:32, 8:15, 12:33, and 19:43 are served by shuttle bus from Calais Ville, all the others by local trains
from Calais Ville. From Monday to Friday every departure at Fréthun is served by local train.
A taxi ride between Fréthun and Calais Ville costs about 20 euro.
Where in Calais will the conference take place?
The conference will take place in room B014 on the campus "la Mi-Voix" of the Université
du Littoral.
This room is located in the ground floor of the building
connected to the low, round, red-brick tower
on the campus (see below).
When you enter this tower, B014 is the first room on the right-hand side.
This hotel is located across the street from the train station Calais Ville.
Address: 3 quai du Danube, 62100 Calais.
Telephone number: 0 892 232 055 (domestic), +33 892 232 055 (foreign).
Email: hotel-de-calais-2009@orange.fr
If you come by car on the motorway A16 Dunkerque - Boulogne,
you have to take exit 43 ("Guines, Blériot-Plage, Cité Europe Est").
Then, on the roundabout under the motorway, take the exit
"Blériot-Plage, Plage" (the first exit if you left the A16 coming from Dunkerque).
At the next roundabout after about 700 m, go straight on, and at
the second another 700 m further on, turn right in the direction
"Gare SNCF". After the underpass,
turn sharply to the right. You will find yourself in front of the car park of the hotel.
How to get from Hotel Premiere Classe to the university.
There are two bus lines you may use. You may take a bus of line 4 at the train
station in the direction "Utrillo".
Departure times of line 4 at the train station are, for example, 8:06, 8:27, 8:47,
9:07, 9:31, 9:53, 10:15, 10:37, 10:59.
Expect a ride of about 20 minutes; the bus takes a very circuitous route through Calais.
Leave the bus at the station "Vadez". You will find yourself at a four-lane street with
a channel in the middle. The round, red-brick tower of the
campus "la Mi-Voix" may be seen on the other side of the street.
Follow the direction of the bus for about 100 m,
then take the footbridge over the channel and go back to the red tower.
The other bus line you may take at the train station is line 2. The direction you have to choose is
"C Cial Mi-Voix" ("Centre Commercial de la Mi-Voix").
Departure times at the train station are, for example,
8:08, 8:28, 8:48, 9:13, 9:33, 9:53, 10:13, 10:33, 10:53.
Also expect a ride of about 20 minutes, although on a completely different route.
Leave the bus at the stop "Grande Rue" (which actually is a rather narrow street).
From there walk about 300 m in the direction the bus was driving when it arrived
at the stop. Then you come to a roundabout, where you should turn right
and go to the red-brick tower (200 m). The walking distance is
longer than if you take the bus number 4.
If you like to walk,
here is a route -- about 2 km long -- to get from the hotel to the
university on foot:
Take the street in front of the train station in the direction of City Hall
("Hotel de Ville") (left-hand side when you stand in front of the hotel and
look at the station).
Cross the car park in front of City Hall,
turn left and follow the rue Jean Jaurès for about 150 m. Then you come to a channel;
turn right and follow this channel up to the lift bridge. There turn left and
go over the bridge. Then, starting from the roundabout behind the bridge,
you have to walk straight on, in a right angle to the channel,
for about 1 km (avenue de Blériot). Reaching the
traffic lights at the end of that kilometer, go straight on across the street and
the bridge over the channel you find there.
The "Centre Universitaire de la Mi-Voix" is on the left-hand side in front of you.
Head for the low, round, red-brick tower at its distant right corner.
If you want to take a taxi from the hotel to the university, you find taxis at
the train station across the street from the hotel. Ask to go
to the "Restaurant Universitaire". It is located just in front of the red-brick tower.
A ride costs about 8 euro.
If you want to take the car, leave the car park of the hotel in such direction that
the hotel is in your back. Follow the street which crosses the channel in front of you
and then runs along that channel. Then take the next street to the right, recrossing that
channel. You get to a traffic light; turn left at that light and go straight on for
about 1 km. Then you arrive at another traffic light, where you should turn right.
Drive for another 700 m up to the next traffic light. There turn left. You find yourself
on a four-lane street with a channel in the middle, and the university at the other side
of the street. Go straight on to the next traffic light (500 m), then turn left to
cross the channel. You find yourself on a roundabout, where you may take the exit
in the direction "Centre administratif". You will not get to a "Centre administratif",
but to one of the car parks of the university (no permit necessary), and may leave your car there.
To get to the lecture room B014, go to the building with the large, low, red-brick tower.
Where to buy some provisions.
Take the street in front of the train station, in the direction of City Hall
("Hotel de Ville") (left-hand side when you stand in front of the hotel and
look at the station). Go straight on on this street ("boulevard Jacquard")
for about 700 m,
over the roundabout and past the traffic light. Then you arrive at the mall "4B"
("Centre Commercial des 4 Boulevards"), where you find a food supermarket,
among many other shops.
How to get to the seashore.
Take the street in front of the train station, in the direction "Calais Nord"
(right-hand side when you stand in front of the hotel and
look at the station). Go straight on
for about 800 m, then the fishery port is on your right and the marina on your left.
After another 300 m straight on, past the apartment blocks on your left, you arrive
at the beach, with the ferry port on your right. There is a pier extending into the
sea. At the end of this pier, you can watch the ferries entering and leaving the port.
But it is very fresh out there. If the air is clear, you can see the cliffs at Dover,
on the other side of the Channel.
