List of hotels, as recommended by Florent

At a walking distance of approximately 10-15 minutes from the Jacques Sys amphitheater:

(starting with the most expensive/comfortable):

• Mercure Center Gare Hotel: where the banquet will take place

• Hôtel de l'Univers: with a predestined name for an astrodynamics conference. Exceptional setting but some UBN rooms are a bit dated

• Holiday Inn express, 50 meters from the station

• Ibis Style Arras center (a little further away: allow 20 minutes walk) A brand new hotel that I don't know yet

• B&B Hotel Arras Center (the former Hotel Ibis), 400 meters from the station: direct view of the famous squares

At a driving distance of approximately 10 minutes from the Jacques Sys amphitheater:

Do not hesitate to contact Florent if you need carpooling to the University of Artois. Buses also take you to the city center and the university campus (check carefully beforehand).

On the outskirts, simple and less expensive hotels, recently built, are also available to KePASSA 2024 participants:

• Kyriad Direct Arras - Saint Laurent Blangy - Parc Expo

• ACE Hotel Arras-Beaurains

Arras being also a stopover town towards Santiago de Compostela, and the Via Francigena, many guest rooms are also available in the Town Center, at very affordable rates, particularly for students. 

Do not hesitate to request additional information from Florent, and to leave him an opinion on the accommodation booked.

The Arras Pays d'Artois website lists all the accommodation available. Be careful, some are quite far from the university campus.
