Mons lies at the junction of the E19 (Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam) and E42 (Calais-Lille-Cologne) motorways. When you arrive in Mons (exit Mons-Ghlin) all you have to do is to follow the signs for "Facult Polytechnique" and leave the main avenue encircling the town at the right moment. As it is easy to miss the street, we suggest that you use the free car park between the Cité P. Houzeau de Lehaie and the buildings in the rue de l'Epargne (B). This car park is perfectly located and within easy reach of the conference venue.
