How  to  reach  LaBRI.

 

See the map  of the relevant part of the campus.

 

The maps of buses  and tram lines  in Bordeaux can be found  here.

But you can manage with my map and the guidelines below :

 

 

1) From the railway station (Gare Saint-Jean) : 

 

1.1) By taxi (about 15 euros : ask the driver to enter by the main gate :

 351 cours de la Libération, Talence and show him the map for LaBRI).

 

1.2)   by  bus  and  tram(way) :

Take bus 16 from the railway station to "Place de la Victoire" and  change there  for

tram (line B) in direction  "Pessac - centre" (some trams stop at "Doyen Brus", but this is OK).

You can get off at "Forum", but the closest station to LaBRI is "Béthanie" (second after "Forum").

Use the map to reach LaBRI.

You can also take bus 9 until "Barriere Saint Genès" and change   for tram B, as above.

 

Remark : Because of heavy roadworks, Buses 9 and 16  leave from

Rue Saint Vincent de Paul, no 2.

This street goes slightly to the right when you exit the station.

 

Tickets : You can buy tickets from the machine at the tramway stop (line C),

outside the railway station.

One ticket is valid during one hour : hence, you need only one to reach LaBRI,

but you have to validate your ticket twice, inside  the bus and then inside  the tramway.

You can also  buy  cards for 5 or 10 trips.

 

 

2)  From the airport :

 

The best is to take a taxi (20-25  euros)

Ask the driver to enter by the entrance close to the

“Parking d'échange  near   tram B station   "Arts et Métiers" (by “Avenue de l’Université) and to reach

LaBRI "Building A30"  (show him the map).

 

3)  By car : get out of the "rocade" (the highway around Bordeaux) at Exit 16 ("Talence-Gradignan"),

take the direction of Talence  and use the map to reach LaBRI.

 

4)At  LaBRI : go to the first floor at the “Accueil” (welcome office). They will call the  person you want to see.

 

Let me know if something is missing.
