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, __ Audun Ostrem Nordal tel: +41.22.76.74427 CERN IT/IS 1211 Geneve 23 Switzerland > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M.-A.
