LIPN: Access to LIPN

If you have an invited research position in our lab, please note that our University can help you for administrative formalities, housing, schooling or language courses.

Our lab, the LIPN, is located in the "institut Galilée" part of the Université Paris-Nord (city of Villetaneuse, 5km to the North of Paris).
The main entrance of our lab is located at the third floor of the B building. (in yellow of the following Campus map).

Access is easy : from the bus stop, follow the (virtual!) green line (100m), enter in the Institute, still follow the green line (50m), take the stairs (5m), and then take the bridge (the red line, 50m) turn to the right at the end of the bridge (not before if you really want to visit us... ) and then you easily reach your Graal, the "yellow" LIPN.

To go to the Paris-Nord University:

By car (map)

From Paris by the A1 Freeway: On A1 freeway, follow the "Lille" direction
Exit 3 "Beauvais-Sarcelles-Pierrefitte" then exit "Villetaneuse-Enghien" (fourth fire on the right)
After the mall roundabout, take right direction "University". You can also see the mappy.com website (set street = avenue JB Clement and city = Villetaneuse).

By bus (map)

Bus 156: Epinay Villetaneuse (gare - railroad Station) <-> St Denis (gare - railroad Station)
(only weekdays from 9am to 4pm)
Go down the bus at the "Université Paris 13" Stop
or
Bus 256: La Courneuve-Aubervilliers (Enghein gare - railroad Station) <-> St Denis Porte de paris (metro station)
Go down the bus at the "Université Paris 13" Stop.
or
Bus 354: Epinay <-> Pierrefitte-Stains
Go down the bus at "Université Paris 13" stop.

By train (map)

In Paris, you go to Gare du Nord, and then take a train until the Epinay-Villetaneuse railroad station. Here are the schedules (Try it with "lieu de depart : Gare du Nord" and "lieu d'arrive : Gare d'Epinay Villetaneuse"). More precisely, in the Gare du Nord, go to the "banlieue"(=suburbans) trains, also called "Transilien". You can take any train which goes to the directions Ermont-Eaubonne, Luzarches, Persan-Beaumont or Valmondois, (platforms 30 to 35 at the suburban station) *checking* on the platform that the train actually stops in Epinay-Villetaneuse (it should be the second stop). The trip between Gare du Nord and the Epinay-Villetaneuse station lasts 10 minutes. Then, 50 meters near the exit of the station, there is a place where people should take (you can pay with a metro ticket) the RATP bus 156 (or 354 and 356) and go down at "Université Paris 13". From the railway station, you could also walk directly to the university (10 minutes if you don't get lost). NB: Epinay-Villetaneuse is in the "zone 3" with respect to trains, which means you can not use a single metro ticket to reach us. You need to buy a ticket Paris/Epinay-Villetaneuse (it works in both direction), we strongly suggest to buy a weekly "zone 1-3" pass (if you intend to visit us dayly). You then can use this very same ticket (which costs 20,8 euros for the whole week) for all your metro/RER correspondences inside Paris.
