Venue

Welcome to École polytechnique in Paris, home to one of the most prestigious institutes for science and technology education in France. We are proud to host the 15th International Physicists’ Tournament and excited for you to experience our tradition of excellence and innovation. Join the adventure in this exciting tournament and experience fully the French spirit!

Campus Site

Ecole polytechnique is situated in the western suburbs of Paris, providing easy access to the city center and the wider Île-de-France region. The closest airport to the campus is Orly Airport, making it easily accessible for international visitors. The campus is within walking distance of the Lozère RER B station (express train), which offers direct access to Paris’ city center, as well as the Massy-Palaiseau station, with its main train connections. The campus is also well-connected by several bus lines and is easily accessible by car. The location of the campus is ideal for exploring the picturesque Île-de-France region, including the famous Palace of Versailles and many other cultural and historic sites.

First arrival

There will be visits to see the Parisian region during the week. The corresponding transport fees are included in the registration fee. However, the transport tickets on the first day are not included.

We highly recommend air passengers to choose Charles de Gaulle Airport as their arrival destination, as we will offer assistance services that will guide passengers to the residence areas right from the airport.
