This conference is held at the occasion of Max Karoubi's 60th birthday. A reception will take place in the evening of Thursday, Nov. 26, at the top of the central tower on Jussieu campus. All are welcome.
The recommended hotel for the conference is:
Hôtel Saint Christophe
17 rue Lacépède
75005 Paris
Métro: Monge
Tél. +33-1-43 31 81 54
Fax: +33-1-43 31 12 54
Telex: 204 304 F
This is a three star hotel, a 10mn walk away from Jussieu Campus. Special conference rates are: FF400 single, FF450 double, breakfast included. The rates apply even if you want to stay a few days before or after the conference. This is an excellent deal as far as hotel rates go in Paris, especially for a double room.
If you decide to stay at this hotel, you can either book directly (mention the conference) or ask Bruno Kahn (kahn@math.jussieu.fr). The hotel only has 31 rooms so you should book early. In case it is full, they will book people in H\^otel des Ar\`enes, similarly located and priced.
By métro: Métro Jussieu (lines 7 and 10).
By bus: no 67 and 89 stop right in front of the campus. Bus 63 (convenient from Gare de Lyon) stops Quai Saint Bernard, at the opposite end of the campus, which you can access though a car exit. Other busses run on Quai Saint Bernard as well.
By taxi: Ask for Place Jussieu.
On campus, Amphi 24 is on "Jussieu" level (which means ground level for all practical purposes), diagonally on your left if you enter the campus from the main entrance Place Jussieu.
