By City Bus and City Tram
Bordeaux has a very complete public transportation system with busses and trams. Daily busses are available from 5:00 to 21:30, night busses from 21:30 to 1:00 and trams from 5h00 to 1h00.
- From Bordeaux downtown: Walk to a tram line B stop, for instance Gambetta or Victoire. Take the tram line B in the direction of Bougnard and get off at the stop Peixotto or Bethanie. You are on the University border (see the campus maps).
- From the train station: Take the bus line 34 in the direction of Gare de Pessac and get off at the stop Victoire. Then follow the above instructions to get to the University from Bordeaux downtown.
- From the airport: Take the shuttle to Bordeaux downtown and get off at the stop Gambetta. Then follow the above instructions to get to the University from Bordeaux downtown.
By car
- If you arrive by the beltway (rocade), use exit 16 marked ``Talence - Domaine Universitaire''. Turn right at the light (towards Bordeaux) and follow Cours de la Libération to the big green gate.
- If you arrive from Bordeaux downtown, first find Place de la Victoire. Once there, follow the arrow to ``Domaine Universitaire'' of Talence. Keep going straight (you will pass Barrière St. Genès and the fountains at Talence); you will see the big green gate on your right
For further details see the access map.
Access to the campus by night and on sunday
The access to the part of the campus where the LaBRI is located is supposed
to be closed at around 10pm every day and the whole day on sundays.
The only access is pedestrian, through a bridge very close to the tramway
stop "Arts et Métiers" (see the synthetic campus map). In particular, students who have to come to
LaBRI to get a key to their room during the week-end will certainly prefer
to get out of the tram at "Arts et Métiers" if the small gates at
"Peixotto" and "Béthanie" are closed.
