Location:
CAREN Conference hall, Campus of Rennes-Beaulieu. University of Rennes 1,
France.
Programme:
The detailed provisional programme is presented at the end of this circular.
Oral presentation:
A PowerPoint presentation is preferred but an overhead projector will be also
available. Please bring your presentation on a CD or a memory stick (USB
connector). Electronic presentations will be uploaded on the lab computer during
registration the first day and during coffee breaks or after sessions the other days.
Oral presentations should not last longer than 15 minutes. They will be followed by 5
minutes for questions. General discussions are scheduled at the end of the sessions.
Posters presentation:
Poster should not exceed 90 cm wide by 170 cm high. They will be displayed in the
area where the coffee breaks will be served and will be available during the whole
length of the scientific sessions.
Conference Proceedings:
INQUA
A volume of Conference Proceedings is planned. It will be published as a special
issue of Quaternary International and edited by Jean-Laurent Monnier, Jean-Pierre
Lefort, Mauro Coltorti and Philip Gibbard. The Organizing Committee will invite
authors to contribute to this volume.
Field trips:
The field trips will concentrate on the comparison between sections located in
southern Brittany (Penestin) where no loess but estuarine deposits are known and
northern Brittany (St. Brieuc Bay) where Early Pleistocene loess and loam
formations were deposited above raised beaches. The last day will be devoted to a 30
metres high loess cliff located in northwest Normandy (Elbeuf) where younger
formations of Pleistocene age are known.
2/ HOW TO REACH RENNES?
• Rennes
is connected to Paris by the TOLL MOTORWAY A10-A11 (free after
Vitré city) and to Nantes, Brest, St Malo by toll-free motorways
• HIGH
SPEED TRAINS connect directly Rennes to Paris (20 connections per
day, 3 h journey). If you are in Paris use the Montparnasse railway station. If you
are at Charles De Gaulle airport use the Terminal 2 railway station (4 to 6
connections per day).
• It
is connected by ORDINARY TRAINS to Bordeaux, Brest, Nantes and Saint
Malo.
• Time-tables
are available on the
(http://www.idtgv.com/165i.html)
web
site
of
the
SNCF Company
• RENNES-SAINT
JACQUES AIRPORT, located at 10 kilometres southwest of
Rennes, offers daily connections to 22 French and European cities (see circular 1).
There are 4 flights a day between Rennes and Paris.
• SAINT-MALO
FERRY TERMINAL has daily connections to Portsmouth
(England) and Cork (Ireland). It is located at 60 kilometres north of Rennes and
connected to Rennes by a toll-free motorway.
3/ HOW TO GET TO THE RENNES-BEAULIEU CAMPUS?
INQUA
From the airport
There is a bus route (57) joining the airport to “Republique” bus station. It runs only
during daytime and is not very convenient for planes arriving late in the evening. The
most convenient transportation from the airport remains the taxi. A taxi from the
airport to Rennes downtown costs between 15 and 20 EUR and between 25 and 30
EUR to the campus (depending on the time and traffic conditions).
From the railway station
•
Walk down to the basement of the RAILWAY STATION
•
Buy a ticket at the automatic machine (about 1.30 EUR) and validate your
ticket when entering the platforms
•
Take the platform indicated Direction JF Kennedy
•
Get out at “Republique” (4 minutes from the railway station) and mind to
keep your ticket.
If you want to go directly to the Campus, take on the same sidewalk as the exit of
the tube, the bus route 6 Cesson Sévigné or 16 or 67 and revalidate your ticket.
Get out at the bus stop Beaulieu/Tournebride (10-20 minutes depending on
traffic conditions).
From the city centre
Take the bus route 6 Cesson Sévigné or 16 or 67 and validate your ticket, get out at
the bus stop Beaulieu/Tournebride (10-20 minutes depending on traffic conditions).
You can buy the ticket from the driver but mind to have coins because the driver may
refuse to accept your banknotes.
By car
If you are coming from Paris by motorway take the exit Rennes Centre and follow
the directions Campus de Beaulieu.
If you are coming from Rennes downtown follow eastbound the bank of Vilaine
river and follow the direction: Campus de Beaulieu.
INQUA
If you are coming from Saint Malo take at Saint Grégoire the eastbound “rocade”
to Paris. Exit at Cesson Sévigné and at the first turnabout take westbound. When
entering Rennes, follow the avenue Buttes de Coësmes. The Campus is at the third
turnabout on your left.
4/ HOW TO GET TO THE HOTELS?
There are various possibilities depending on what hotel you registered .The
following map will help you to locate the various places where you may need to go.
If you are at one of the hotels listed in circular 2 use the bus lines circulating Rue de
Paris, Rue de Rennes and Avenue du Général Leclerc since all the hotels are
located at a walking distance from this main circulation axis. Note the name of your
hotel, the corresponding bus stop and the number of the bus line.

You must bear in mind that in France, taxis are a relatively expensive form of
transportation. It is therefore advisable to use public transports. However for those
who will arrive late at the railway station on Sunday 21, sharing a taxi is the best
solution to reach your hotel if you don’t want to wait too long your bus.

8/ WEATHER CONDITIONS
Like in many other countries of Western Europe we had a sad weather during the last
summer. If we have a nice Indian summer as usual, we expect temperatures around
24°C during the meeting. Otherwise temperatures should be around 17°C degrees
and a few short showers may happen. Remember that two field trips are along the
coast and that the end of September can be windy.
9/ LAST MINUTE INFORMATION
We are perfectly aware of the difficulties of connexion between the railways station
and the hotels on the Sunday 21.We expect some more funding and hope that we will
be able to pick some of the participants at the station after 4 PM. More information
will be given in a flash mail just before your departure to Rennes.
