[EuroPython] EuroPython 2006

[Audun Ostrem Nordal]

Hello, list.  I work at CERN and report to Benedict :-)

Regarding accomodation, I would just like to point out the Auberge
Communale de Meyrin, a small inn (single room is 85 CHF/night).  To my
knowledge that is the closest offsite accomodation to CERN, at least on
the Swiss side.  I'd say within 15 minutes walking distance (or 3
minutes by bus).  They have a Google Earth placemark on their webpage
http://www.auberge-meyrin.ch/auberge_hotel.html.  Not at all fancy, but
if all you need is a bed I'd say it is a sound deal.  They have a good
restaurant, actually.  I booked someone in there once, and they did
speak a little English.

Hope that helps,
