CMI : Bibliotheque du Centre de Mathematiques et Informatique (CMI) Universite de Provence 39 rue F. Joliot-Curie 13453 Marseille cedex 13

I've pre-reserved upt to 6 rooms in http://www.europe-hotel.fr . It's quite cheap, is ** (a correct standard in France), and in the center of Marseille. Henri Damien will have a car (isn't it Henri Damien ?), as well as me. We can drive everybody to the CMI (30-40mn in the morning, we should not have too much traffic) PLEASE : confirm reservation individually. I requested : - 1 twin (chris/russel) ⇒ reserved & confirmed, - 1 twin (Ryan/Sara) ⇒ reserved & confirmed, - 1 double (Joshua/Tina) ⇒ reserved & confirmed, - 1 single (Pascale) ⇒ reserved & confirmed - 1 single (Pierrick) ⇒ reserved & confirmed - 1 single (hdl) ⇒ reserved & confirmed - 1 single (Rachel) ⇒ still pre-reserved, but Rach, pls confirm you won't come. You can confirm reservation through the http://www.europe-hotel.fr/uk/reservation/booking_online.php. In additive information, you can specify “Conférence KOHA”. I have pre-reserved from sunday, 7th, to saturday evening 13. Feel free to add or remove a night if you want. Everybody pays it's nights, your credit card number should be requested after reservation (to confirm the reservation). It's a common thing in france.

Note from Russ: Chris and I have confirmed our booking

If you reach Marseille by plane, the best solution to reach Marseille center is the taxi. But it's quite expensive. If you all arrive at the same time I may be able to drive you. (i'm speaking of kiwis & us, as parisians will take the TGV for sure)

The best solution being to reach Marseille by TGV : it's the center of Marseille. Just take the sub to “vieux port” (2 stations, less than 2 minuts) and you're arrived.

IMPORTANT NOTE : RESERVE QUICKLY, as there are 2 large conferences in Marseille this week. The pre-reservation is kept until end of march.

I plan to have at least 3 afters :

• one evening with a trip to SAN Ouest Provence, to meet the library staff & visit something interesting.
• one evening with a “bouillabaisse” (but a true one, not a cheap one that you can get on the left part of the “vieux-port”)
• one evening visiting Notre Dame de la Garde (church & highest point in Marseille) and Saint Victor (oldest church, with a crypt that is 1700 years old)
