Arriving in Marseille

Stream: LFTCM 2024

[Riccardo Brasca]

Hi all,
I will arrive in Marseille (at the train station) on Sunday around 3PM. If you've never been to the CIRM and you will be there we can go together (I will take public transportation.

[Vincent Beffara]

I will probably arrive by the same train as you (15:04), let's meet at Saint Charles!

[Riccardo Brasca]

Mine is 14:56, but OK!

[Jireh Loreaux]

My flight lands at 1:25, and I'll stop by Saint Charles on my way to Luminy. I'm comfortable getting to CIRM, but we can meet also.

[Filippo A. E. Nuccio]

Hi All, I arrive at 5.14 PM in case there is a second batch of people who have never been at CIRM and would like to meet and travel to Luminy together.

[Anatole Dedecker]

@JB Stiegler and I will arrive by train at 12:14. I’ve never been to CIRM and I don’t think Jean Baptiste has, so we will probably wait around the station and join the first group at 3PM I think.

[Frédéric Dupuis]

I'm also on the train that arrives at 15:04, assuming the first train makes it to Valence on time.

[Pietro Monticone]

Hi everyone, I’m supposed to arrive by bus at 2:45 PM and I’ve never been to the CIRM.

[Frédéric Dupuis]

By the way, is it possible to arrive at CIRM before 17h or is it closed?

[Vincent Beffara]

I believe it's closed but there are nice benches around it and the weather should be nice, so it's not a big issue

Riccardo's instructions in his mail yesterday were quite complete, I believe. Have you received it? Of course you can also wait two and a half hours for me, but it won't be great fun in the railway station, while if you go up and meet the others it could be nice.

Yes, I received it and it’s clear. Thank you.

In that case I would be up for a nice pastis in town before going there :-)

[Riccardo Brasca]

This is a good idea!

[Jireh Loreaux]

Yes, stopping in Marseille would be nice. Of course, we could also go hiking through the Calanques National Park, but there should be time for that during the week too, so probably spending some time in Marseille is better.

[Oliver Nash]

I won't be arriving till Wednesday afternoon unfortunately, but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone once I do get there!

[Johan Commelin]

I'll be arriving on Monday, hopefully around lunch time.

[Sam van G]

I'm only arriving in Marseille at 21:14 tomorrow but I've been to CIRM before.

[Frédéric Dupuis]

Does anyone know a convenient precise meeting point for tomorrow at Marseille St-Charles?

[Riccardo Brasca]

Not really, but the station is not very big if I remember correctly

[Riccardo Brasca]

We can just choose a random place, like in front of the macdonald (if it still exists)

[Vincent Beffara]

As long as it's not inside the macdonald ;-)

[Anatole Dedecker]

Is anyone here already ? We just arrived (with 50mins of delay…)

[Chris Birkbeck]

I've just arrived at CIRM. But I think I'm really early since I can't see anyone at reception yet or any envelopes.

[Riccardo Brasca]

It opens at 5pm I think

[Chris Birkbeck]

Hmm yeah just saw that in the email. It's fine, it's a nice day to walk around :) I've not seen this much sun in months :sob:

[Riccardo Brasca]

Is the building open at least?

[Chris Birkbeck]

yep!

[Jireh Loreaux]

I'm on a bus. I should arrive at St Charles right around 3.

[Vincent Beffara]

I'm on a train, passing through Avignon right now, arriving around 3 as well

[Riccardo Brasca]

Same

[Pietro Monticone]

I am currently traveling by bus and expect to arrive at St. Charles around 3 PM.

[Anatole Dedecker]

I don’t see any McDonald’s in the station…

[Lorenzo Luccioli]

I am at St. Charles right now, I don’t see any McDonald inside the station. Now I am near a ‘Parfois’ and a ‘Relay’.

[Riccardo Brasca]

Sorry, it existed like 5 years ago :sweat_smile:

[Anatole Dedecker]

We’re waiting to see where the 2:56 train arrives, and we’ll go to this platform

[Riccardo Brasca]

Ok, I am on that train with a couple of other participants

[Anatole Dedecker]

So far we don’t know the platform

[Anatole Dedecker]

Platform F

[Riccardo Brasca]

Voie F

[Vincent Beffara]

I'm in the very next train IIUC (3:04) but I will join you at the head of platform F

[Vincent Beffara]

Arriving voie G

[Riccardo Brasca]

We are just outside the station

[Riccardo Brasca]

It's nicer than inside

[Jireh Loreaux]

straight ahead from platform C, on the same level (don't go down the steps)

[Pietro Monticone]

Arrived, but I don’t see you all.

[Anatole Dedecker]

Where are you ? We are outside of the building

[Riccardo Brasca]

@Frédéric Dupuis are you somewhere near the train station?

[Riccardo Brasca]

Anyone else is arriving soon?

[Riccardo Brasca]

If you're looking for a place to work, you can go to the library (using the badge of the key of your room)

[Riccardo Brasca]

There are tables and small rooms to discuss

[Floris van Doorn]

I'm arriving at the train station at 19:30, in case anyone else is arriving around that time.

[Johan Commelin]

I'm in a bus to St Charles. Looking forward to meeting you all in ~ 1hr.

[Marie Kerjean]

I'm arriving tonight very late at St Charles (23h23). If you're also arriving late, ping me if you want to share a cab or take the same bus !

[Johan Commelin]

Which building should I walk to now?

[Jireh Loreaux]

Restaurant

[Jireh Loreaux]

It's connected to the registration building

[Anne Baanen]

Due to illness I could not travel and I missed the first few days. But I made it, finally! Looking forward to seeing you all for dinner tonight.

[Anatole Dedecker]

Some people are not eating at CIRM tonight since this afternoon was free, but you’ll see everyone tomorrow!
