The first meeting of our working group will take place on
December 9, 2008 at the Observatoire de Paris in Paris
(77 Avenue Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris).
You can find details on how to access the Observatory on this site.
There you find a map of the surroundings (Plan d'accès) and a map of the buildings in the Observatory (Plan du site).
We will be in building 16 (salle de l'Atelier), which is just behind the entrance, in the morning and might have to move to the "salle Danjon" (just next to the "salle de l'Atelier") in the late afternoon.
If you are interested in joining this meeting, please contact us for more information.
