Practical Information

How to get to Nice:

By plane: If you are traveling by plane to Nice Côte d'Azur airport, you can take tram number 2 from the airport to the city center (direction "Port Lympia"). The trip is short and costs 1.7 euros. The tram stop is right outside the airport and you can buy your ticket at the stop. See the section about the tickets below.

By train:If you are traveling by train, the train should stop at "Nice Ville" which is central. From Nice Ville, you can walk a few minutes to get to the Gare Thiers tram stop where you can catch tram number 1 that covers a large part of the center of Nice. If you are staying in the eastern part of Nice (for example Esatitude or Apart'City), and your train stops at Nice Riquier, it might be easier to get off the train there and walk or take the tram.

How to get to the math department: 

The closest tram stop to the math department is "Valrose Université". From Valrose Université, it takes 5 minutes walk to Université Côte d'Azur, Valrose campus, and from the entrance it takes around 5 minutes walk to the math department.

The address of the department is:

Dieudonné Laboratory J.A.,
Parc Valrose,
28 Avenue Valrose
06108 Nice Cedex 02

Tram tickets:

Here is the website for the public transportation https://www.lignesdazur.com/en. You can buy the tickets on the machines at any tram stop. You can pay by card or coins. One trip ticket costs 1.7 euros (including connection within 74 minutes), and a 7-day pass costs 20 euros (seems like a good option if you need to take the tram every day).

You can also download two apps to get the tickets on your phone: Lignes d'Azur Tickets and Carte Lignes d'Azur Mobile (You need both apps but you only use the first one).
