                          * CONFERENCE LOCATION *
Transputers94 will be held September 21-23, 1994 at the Royal Saltworks 
(Saline Royale) of Arc-et-Senans.  Listed on the UNESCO Register of World
 Monuments since 1983, the Royal Saltworks is an extraordinary site which 
houses the International Center for Futures Studies for business executives, 
decision makers and researchers.  Located near the city of Besancon in the 
heart of the Franche-Comte region of eastern France, the area is easily 
accessible by road, train (2 1/2 hours from Paris by the high-speed TGV  
train) or plane (the Geneva and Basel-Mulhouse international airports). 
 This is a truly unique conference site, equipped with first-rate modern 
facilities, and one which lends itself remarkably well to the development
 of new ideas, the comparison of experiences, and meetings among people.


                         * HOW TO GET THERE *
The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans is located halfway (35km) between the 
towns of Dole and Besancon. It is easy to get there from any of the highways 
out of Paris, Lyon or Mulhouse (once on highway A36, exit at either Dole 
or Beancon Ouest).
A number of direct trains from Paris run regulary to Besancon, including 
the high-speed TGV  (2 1/2 hours).  There are also turbotrains from Lyon 
(2 hrs.), from Mulhouse (2 hrs.) and from Strasbourg (3 hrs.).

The conference site can also be reached by plane/car, via the Geneva 
and Basel-Mulhouse international airports.
The nearest station to Arc-et-Senans is Mouchard. It is on the line from 
Paris to Lausanne and on the line from Lyon to Strasbourg.

                  * ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION *
Hotel accommodation will be made available for conference participants 
in Besancon.  Motor coaches will run to and from the hotels-conference 
site-train stations and will be provided free-of-charge by the conference 
organizers.

Motor coaches will stop at all of the hotels listed by the Monts Jura 
Tour agency.  A specially arranged shuttle service will also be provided 
throughout the duration of the conference for those people arriving or 
leaving at times other than those planned.
Hotel and travelling expenses are to be handled by the individual 
participants.  The conference organizers have chosen hotels near Besancon's
 city center where a special shuttle service has been arranged to take 
them to and from the conference site every morning and evening.

Note: two international events will take place in France at the same time, 
so we suggest that you make your reservations as soon as possible.
