Archaeometry, the 23rd GMPCA conference, will take place from May 2 to 6 in Chambéry in the Manège (the congress center) of Chambéry.

This year, with the help of USMB's lab 1.5, the organization of the conference is part of a reflection on the environmental impact of research. Thus, we encourage you to limit your carbon emmission to come at the conference by favouring rail transport and carpooling.

The access by train to Chambéry is facilitated by a TGV connection to all major cities in France and Europe : TGV inOUI (France), Thalys (Belgium, Germany, Luxemburg, Netherlands ), Eurostar (UK), ...

Le Manège is located in the city center of Chambéry with a fast pedestrian access from all points of the city, it is also accessible to people with reduced mobility.

To move in Chambéry and Savoie:

It is possible to travel by bus and the city's transport authority offers bike rental by the day or by the week (bike station located in the station).

Please notice that access by car to the city center of Chambery is complicated by an extremely limited number of parking places and parking time, they are very often not free of charge. For people coming by car, we advise you to park your vehicle on parking lots on the outskirts of the city or on one of the two university campuses (Le Bourget-du-Lac, Jacob Bellecombette) and to use the public transport network.
