Hotels
There are no large hotels in the area. Also, large blocks of hotel rooms were booked by football associations following the 2010 announcement that Paris will host Euro 2016 (the European Football Cup) from June 10th to July 10th. Still, the market for hotel rooms (as well as apartments including AirBnB) is liquid. The link http://sioe.abotelcongres.com/ provides special conference rates for hotels in the area for SIOE participants but the participants may also independently book other hotels in different price ranges depending on quality and distance to the center of the city.
