Accommodation Options

Institut Pascal has a solid network of hotel-partners in the near surroundings. In consultation with the scientific organisers of an IPa program, a letter is sent to the invited participants detailing various accommodation options. There are many choices of hotels close to the venue with the advantage that Institut Pascal will take care of the reservations and direct payments, if applicable, for the participants.

For certain participants, particularly those who must travel with their families, a self-found apartment via AirBnB might be the best accommodation solution, with a possible financial reimbursement after departure (Conditions apply. Please consult your program manager before booking).
