6 - Transportation

Most international flights to Paris arrive at Charles de Gaulle
airport. A fast train service connects this airport to the centre of
Paris. Special (free) buses run regularly from the airport to the
station (Gare RER). At the station purchase a ticket to Montparnasse
Bienvenue (approximate price 40 FF) - this ticket covers the train
into the city centre (an RER train) as well as the Paris Metro to
get to Montparnasse. Take the RER train, getting of at Denfert
Rochereau, where you can transfer to Metro line No 6. (direction
Ch. De Gaulle-Etoile - note: this is NOT at Ch. de Gaulle airport!) to
Montparnasse Bienvenue Metro station, which is directly below
Montparnasse railway station from where the TGV's depart. The journey
from the airport to Montparnasse usually takes about 1 hour.

Concerning transportation between Paris Montparnasse and Rennes, note
that TGV (High Speed Train) trains from Paris to Rennes run
approximately every hour.  It takes about 2h10 hours from Paris to
Rennes.

IMPORTANT: Please note that TGV reservations are obligatory.

7 - Social events

Intel SSD is hosted the social event on Thursday evening. It will be
held at the Mont Saint-Michel (one of the wonders of the world). Le
Mont Saint-Michel is located at 60 Km North of Rennes. A bus will
bring the participant to this site. Dinner, offered by Intel, will
take place in a famous restaurant: La Mere Poulard.

The pre-requisite for attendance at the meetings is membership of the
European Intel Supercomputer Users' Group, which is free to all users
who have an account on an Intel machine. New members are encouraged to
