Practical Information
For the first time, Constraints in Discourse comes to France, on the French Riviera. CID2011 will take place in Agay, on September 14-16, 2011.
Agay is a beautiful sandy bay, situated on the coast known as the Corniche d’Or, between Saint Raphaël (12km) and Cannes (30 km), just a stone’s throw away from Fréjus. Agay, known as the ruby of the Côte d’Azur, is a closed natural harbour, an ancient volcano from the Estérel massif. This natural port had already been praised by the Greeks who called it Agathon, which means good and favourable.
Conference location and accomodation
Perched on a red rock hillside overlooking the Mediterranean, the Hôtel Club IGeSA - Les Roches Rouges will welcome the conference as well as the participants. This early XXth century mansion, situated within 5 minutes walking distance of the beach, stands in the middle of cork oaks, mimosa and pine trees - the weather and water temperature should be delicious there in early September, so bring your swimming suits!
The hotel and its stunning surroundings are ideally located to explore the south of France, and recent research on constraints in discourse! All participants are encouraged to stay at the Hôtel Club IGeSA - Les Roches Rouges, since all conference activities, meals and social events will be held there.
