Please note: You are strongly advised to book your accomodation as soon as possible. The dates for the Gaia Symposium coincide with the "Salon de l'Automobile" exhibition in Paris - one of the most important events in Paris this year which is expected to attract a lot of visitors. There is a strong risk that most hotels in Paris will be quickly booked up for this period.

Note for those in receipt of a grant from the SOC: For young researchers and students who have received a grant from the Scientific Organising Committee to attend the Symposium, the accomodation will be arranged by the Local Organising Committee.

Hotels recommended by the LOC

Hereafter is a list of hotels which have agreed with the Local Organizing Committee to offer some accomodation at reduced costs. To receive the reduced rates, you must indicate "Colloque Gaia 2004" in your booking form. You can book by phone, fax, e-mail and, in most cases, through the web. A number of rooms (an estimate is given in parenthesis beside the hotel name) are pre-reserved for the Gaia Symposium, but only during the next few weeks.
These hotels are situated in convenient places for getting to the Symposium (city districts south of Paris near both Gare Montparnasse and Observatoire de Paris, southwest suburbs of Paris such as Meudon, Sèvres…).
As far as possible, this list will be continuously updated.
