Reach the campus by public transportation
We recommend participants to take the RER B subway to Massy-Palaiseau and take a bus to the École polytechnique from there, as explained below. If you do not object to climbing a small hill, then you may exit the RER B at Lozère/École polytechnique instead of Massy-Palaiseau, and reach the campus in about 15 minutes by feet.
RER subway
-
From the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport, you should directly take the RER B to Massy-Palaiseau.
-
From the Paris Orly airport, you should take the Orlyval to Antony and then the RER B to Massy-Palaiseau.
-
From the center of Paris, take the metro to either Gare du Nord, Châtelet, Saint-Michel or Denfert-Rochereau and then the RER B to Massy-Palaiseau.
Notice that all trains do not stop at all the stations: in fact the actual stops are indicated on the platform before the train arrives. Information and time tables for public transportation in the Île-de-France region are available from:
For instance, from the station Châtelet in the center of Paris, it takes approximately 30 minutes to go to Massy-Palaiseau using the RER B. When arriving at Massy-Palaiseau you have to take a bus, as explained below, to reach École polytechnique.
Bus
From the Massy-Palaiseau station take the 91.06 TransEssonne bus and get off at the bus stop Lozère.
Attention, the bus transfer is not free, except with a Carte Orange zone 4. You will need tickets T+, which can be bought in the Metro and RER stations, or you will be able to buy tickets directly in the bus.
The complete time table is available from
Pedestrian way
École polytechnique can be reached by feet from the Lozère RER B station within a 15 minutes walk that includes a stairway of about 300 steps. The walk is nice, but somewhat difficult when carrying heavy luggage or when it rains. When coming with luggage from Paris, we therefore recommend to use the RER B until the Massy-Palaiseau station, and then to take the bus 91.06 as described above.
Access restrictions
Outside of regular operating hours, a student/personnel badge is required to enter the campus. Security barriers are posted at the campus entrances (Lozère, Joncherettes, Laboratory). Visitors can present themselves at the main entrance (gate P5) to obtain a temporary access pass.
The laboratories have restricted access. Visitors without a badge may use the telephones outside the entrances to call their contact within the laboratory.
The primary entrances are through gate P5 or through the Lozère gate (pedestrian access only)
