FUDCon Paris - useful links

English version

The FUDCon Paris wiki page already contains quite a number of information but I thought it might be nice to repeat them once again here.

So here is a list of useful links/information

Some links

• FUDCon Paris wiki page
• IBIS Hotel google map (with the marker)
• Organize your subway travel on the RATP website (the RATP being the company that runs the subway train, the bus and the trams in Paris).
  • Another website to organize your trip : vianavigo
  • PDF of the Subway map

Last minute info

If you are arriving late (after 23:00) from Charle De Gaule (CDG) airport, there are work on the train line, so you might have to take a bus instead of the train to the center.

This is also valid, if you have to take a train late (after 23:00) on Monday evening to CDG airport.

In both case, the connection between the normal trains and the bus substituting is done at the station Aulnay-sous-Bois.

The official documentation says:

Due to work, there will be NO trains between Aulnay-sous-Bois and
Charles De Gaulle Airport on Monday to Friday from 23:05 to the
last train, until november 2012. Trains will be replaced by a direct
bus service.

To CDG Airport : departs from Aulnay-sous-Bois station (23:20 > 00:45).
To Paris : departs from Roissypôle - CDG Airport bus station (23h05 > 23:55).

Allow an additional 15 to 20 minutes for the journey.

Couple more of information

Q&A

• Is there a Android app for the transport?
  • The RATP provides an Android app on the market but basically only the main maps are accessible offline, no trip planner, no maps of the surrounding of a stations, no map of a subway/bus line and no traffic info (that's not so surprising though)
  • I found another app Metro 01 (Paris) which seems to do trip planner offline.
• Where can I get a map of the transportation network?
  • I gave a link to a PDF of this map but in case you cannot/forgot to print it, be aware that every information desk at every station can provide you with a paper version.

I hope this can help you to visit and enjoy your time before and after the FUDCon (not during hé ;-)).

If you have any questions feel free to ask!
