How to get there
Rouen can be accessed from Paris:
- by car, using highway A13 (toll) – about 1 hour 30 depending on traffic (can be very dense)
- by train, from Paris’ Gare Saint Lazare station – about 1 hour 30
CRIANN or CORIA can be accessed by Métro (tram) from Rouen’s train station. Take the blue line in direction of Technopôle, until the end of the line (about 30 minutes, then a 5 minute walk)
Recommended hotels
There are a few hotels close to CRIANN (<10 minutes walk). If you are coming by car, prefer those as parking will be easier.
