The Royal Hotel Casino is located about 20 miles from the airport. The travel time between the airport and the hotel (meeting site) will vary between 30 minutes to one hour depending on traffic conditions. Taxi fares will range between 45-60 Euros. Please Note: All events will take place at the hotel. There is a small harbor village nearby and Cannes croisette is a 5 min cab ride. You may want to check and update the <a href="http://esw.w3.org/topic/MeetingTaxis">"MeetingTaxis" wiki</a> to arrange common transportation with other participants. <h4>By car:</h4> If you are renting a car at the airport, please take the highway A8 to the West, in the direction of Cannes and Aix en Provence. This is a toll road. Pass both the Cannes and Cannes La Bocca exits, to Exit 40, Mandelieu La Napoule. As you exit, you will take an obligatory right turn after ~100M, and then, shortly thereafter, turn right again at the traffic signal. Continue on that road until it ends at a T intersection. Turn Left. Now proceed to the end of that road at a golf course, just after a small bridge over the river La Siagne. Turn Right. Proceed with the golf course on your left. In ~100M, when you see a road on your right and a road on the left going up, take the road going up on the left for about 10 meters to a T. You will see the water front here. Turn Right. The hotel is on your left: proceed about 50M, until you can turn left into the entrance of the hotel. <h4>By <a href="http://www.ter-sncf.com/paca/default.htm">train</a>:</h4> If you are using the railways note that there is a train station "Mandelieu La Napoule" but that not all trains stop there. The nearest train station where all trains stop is "Cannes". <ul> <li>If you take an omnibus (TER (Transport Express R茅gional), they do stop at every station, including "Mandelieu La Napoule"), you have to walk (10 minutes) in the direction of Mandelieu castle (should be right in front of station, or quite near) and then straight ahead down the hill, pass the harbor and onto the Royal Hotel Casino which is on the seaside.</li> <li>If you take a rapid train (they only stop in main stations), exit at "Cannes". From there you will find cabs.</li> </ul> See the Les Arcs - Nice (west-east) Nice - Les Arcs (east-west) <a href="http://www.ter-sncf.com/Images/les%20arcs-nice_tcm21-11946.pdf">train timetables</a> (11dec2005-01jul2006). <h2><a id="Meals" name="Meals">Meals</a></h2> Breakfast is included in the room rate at the Royal Hotel Casino.
