I want to underline this one - I checked with the hotel, and there are
only two people (including myself) who have booked rooms with the FOSTEL
group code. This group code is available for a limited time only. Please
book your rooms this week, if you are staying in the Novotel.

To get to Epitech, you need to get to Porte d'Italie by metro with line
7 in the direction of Ivry (pink line). From Porte d'Italie, walk in the
direction of the periphérique (some visible landmarks in that direction:
a Campanile sign on top of some buildings, and a Bricorama that you'll
pass on the way) - it's about 3 - 4 minutes walk. Once you cross the
periph', you'll see the Etap and Novotel both on your left (they're next
door to each other) - walk towards them, and Epitech is the door before
the Etap on your righthand side.

I swear it was a coincidence that the 2 hotels and the conference site
are within 50 meters of each other - I didn't know :)

Cheers,
Dave.
