Gala Dinner

2. By foot, via a walking tour accompanied by volunteer guides, members of the organizing committee. Departure will start at the city center (Place Bellecour) with the poetic statue of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (of 'The Little Prince' fame), then head to the Ainay district (and the Basilica of Saint-Martin d'Ainay, the sole Romanesque church of Lyon) and then along the Saône river. The Saône river walk is on a pedestrian path on the calmer side of the city with views of the old harbor and its flat boats, as well as Europe's largest urban regeneration project with its futuristic buildings (Ycone Tour, Orange Cube etc.). The walk will take about 45-60 min.

3. By your own means: by foot, subway, tram, Vélo'v (the world's first urban shared-bicycle system)...

The most convenient public transportation option to reach the Selcius is to take the C4 or C5 bus, a mere 2-minute walk from the main venue.  Afterward, transfer to the T1 or T2 tram. The tram will drop you off within a 10-minute walking distance from the Selcius. For further information, please visit the "Getting to and around Lyon" page.

Upon arrrival, make yourself comfortable inside the Selcius, a bright restaurant on the banks of the Saône, in the new Confluence eco-district, in the heart of the 2^nd arrondissement of Lyon. Located on the banks of the Saône, the Selcius will welcome you to its terrace to take full advantage of this change of scenery. The furniture, the vegetation, and the calm make the Selcius the ideal place to meet up with your colleagues and friends. Depending on the lounge where you are, the establishment offers different atmospheres.

The Selcius is one of the trendy places in Lyon. The center of the restaurant is occupied by a lounge area with a stage on which a DJ will perform. Drinks and food will be served during this cocktail reception. So, be prepared for a good time!!
