If you arrive at Gare Saint-Charles Railway / Coach station
TAXI: From the railway station to Cirm, you can choose to take a taxi to the Luminy campus (distance 11km, cost around 35 to 45€ according to the time of day). Note that Cirm does not pay for any taxi fares. You can contact the
Accommodation Officer for taxi information and companies. PUBLIC TRANSPORT: You can use the "Metro" (underground) then get on bus B1 or 21J. The cost of a single ticket covering both Metro and Bus is about 1,80€ from a machine in the underground or 2 € if bought on the bus (or about 14€ for a 10-journey pass). Note that if you intend to buy individual tickets directly on the buses, you will need to have some change. A) Metro line 2 + Bus B1 or 21J
OR B) Metro line 2 + Bus 24 (less frequent)
(*) Monday to Friday (6 am to 9 pm): Bus lines serve the heart of the Campus. The last stop (called 'Campus Luminy') is located directly in front of the entrance to Cirm's new building. Monday to Friday (before 6 am and after 9 pm), Saturday, Sunday, public holiday and summer: buses terminate at the entrance gate of the campus (Bus stop called 'Luminy PN des Calanques'). From there, it is a 6-minute walk to Cirm just up the main road. There are signs to direct you. What to do if you arrive after 21:45 at Gare Saint-Charles If you arrive after 21:45, the easiest is to catch Night bus number 521 directly from "Gare Saint Charles" (Railway station) all the way to the last stop "Luminy PN des Calanques" then walk to Cirm (6-minute walk just up the main road). If the main gate of the university entrance is shut, tell the person on duty that you are coming to Cirm and they will open the gate. |
