If you intend to drive to Louvain-la-Neuve, take the exit number 8A on the Brussels-Namur-Luxembourg Motorway (E411), then follow the directions "Louvain-la-Neuve Sud", "Biéreau" or "Bruyères". Note that nearly everywhere in Louvain-la-Neuve, you should use a parking disk. You can leave your car in one of the free parking grounds (appearing in purple on this map. The free "Rédimé" parking lot (on the right half of the map) is very close to the Maxwell and Euler buildings. To have access to one of the UCLouvain parking grounds, contact your host.

Louvain-la-Neuve has its own train station (location D6 on the detailed map). There are three main train stations in Brussels: Bruxelles-Nord, Bruxelles-Central, and Bruxelles-Midi (also called Brussel-Zuid). There are trains from Brussels to Louvain-la-Neuve every half hour and the journey takes between 30' and 60' depending on which station you depart from (the order is as follows: Bruxelles-Midi, Bruxelles-Central, Bruxelles-Nord, Ottignies, Louvain-la-Neuve). Timetables are available from Timetables of the Belgian Railways. When buying a ticket or checking for connections, please indicate "Louvain-la-Neuve". Simply indicating "Louvain" may take you to the Flemish city of Leuven which is 30 km from Louvain-la-Neuve.

The Réaumur, Maxwell and Euler buildings are a ten-minute walk from the train station in Louvain-la-Neuve. To find your way from the train station to one of these buildings follow the instructions below:

From the train station, walk up the street "rue des Wallons", all the way through "Place des Wallons", "Place Galilée" and "Place des Sciences" (a place with wooden floor). From the "Place des Sciences", follow the indications for "Sainte Barbe". Walk through the building "Sainte-Barbe" and exit on the other side of the building. You are on the "Place Sainte Barbe", where you will find the Réaumur building (ICTEAM / INGI - the secretary's office is located on the second floor, wing A.1). 

To access the Maxwell building from there (ICTEAM and ICTEAM/ELEN), continue straight on. The ELEN secretary's office is on the ground floor (B028), the ICTEAM secretariat is on the first floor (B131). 

To access the Euler building (ICTEAM/INMA), turn left just before entering the Maxwell building, walk 50 m, enter the parking on your right and go up the stairs. You now see the Euler building on your right. The INMA secretary's office is on the first floor.
