How to get from Paris to Roscoff




1.  By Train :  The train is a convenient way to get to Roscoff.  First one should take a train from Paris to Morlaix and then there is a short connection to Roscoff, either by bus or by local train.  From Paris there are two possiblities:

-  from the airport Paris Charles de Gaulle there are about 3 trains a day (change at Rennes); the journey takes about 4 hours

-  from the main railway station Paris Montparnasse, there is a train approximately every 3 hours; the journey takes 3h 50 min.

For the train timetable consult the web site  SNCF.

When you arrive at Morlaix, take the train or the bus from the railway station to Roscoff.  There are two trains and two buses on Sunday 15th June, leaving at 11h51(train), 15h26 (train), 18h20 (bus) and 20h10 (bus).  For the times on other days consult the web site of the  SNCF.  If you let us know when you arrive then we will arrange for someone to meet you to take you to the conference centre.

2.  By Plane :  The nearest airport is Brest-Guipavas, about 15 minutes from Brest and 45 minutes from Roscoff.  For information concerning flights, consult the web site Airport Brest-Guipavas .  Flights connect Paris with Brest (either Paris Charles de Gaulle or Paris Orly-Ouest).  There are also direct flights from Nice, London and some other cities.

Participants arriving by plane should tell the organisers their time of arrival.  If you are arriving on the Sunday 15th June, then it would be helpful to take a flight that arrives not later than the 17h15 flight from Paris, in order that we can take you to Roscoff that evening.  Otherwise, there is a navette connecting the airport with the town of Brest, in particular it goes to the railway station where one can catch the train to Roscoff via Morlaix.  The times of the navette can be found on the airport web site Airport Brest-Guipavas.  For people arriving on Sunday 15th June before 17h15 (also Saturday 14th June), we will arrange to take you to where you will be staying at Roscoff.
