Accommodations

A few suggestions for where to stay near the camp:

Travel Tips

Flying

  • Lille airport (LIL). Shuttle bus (20 min) available from airport to city center
  • Paris Charles de Gaulles Airport (CDG) : 45 minutes to LILLE by TGV
  • Paris Orly : if you have the choice don't use this one since it's far away from Lille
  • Bruxelles Charleroi (CRL) : shuttle bus (1h30) available from Charleroi to Lille (Flibco)

Train

  • Lille Europe and Lille Flandres are very close to the Camp location

Car

Bus

  • Idbus a French bus company near the French Railroad. The price is attractive (special price for group of 4 people) from London / Bruxelles / Paris. (The ideal moving spot to test a PirateBox)
