By train

The main train station in St-Étienne is Chateaucreux station. The closer to the Hubert Curien Laboratory is Carnot station (but Chateaucreux is nearly as easy with the new tram). See http://www.sncf.fr or http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de.

From Chateaucreux station to the H. Curien Lab : Take the tram line number 5 direction "Terrasse" until stop "Chaléassière" (timetable).
From Carnot station to the H. Curien Lab : Take the tram line number 5 direction "Terrasse" or line number 4 direction "Hopital Nord" until stop "Chaléassière" (timetable). It is also possible to come by foot (about 20 min) : take Bergson street (where the tram line is) and after 400m take Barrouin street on your right.
Look at the map.

By Plane

Two Airports:

St-Etienne Bouthéon Airport which is not very busy (15km from St-Etienne, at Andrézieux-Bouthéon).
Lyon St-Exupéry airport (25 km East of Lyon or 70 km of St-Etienne). Shuttles to come to St-Étienne from Lyon St-Exupéry airport (about 1h15, 27 euros). Shuttles from the airport of Saint-Exupery leave the airport at 08.35, 14.55 and 20.15 on week days, 9.00, 15.15 and 18.30 on Saturdays and 10.00, 15.15 and 20.15 on Sundays. There is an alternative route from the airport: take the shuttle (one every 20mn) to Lyon Perrache SNCF train station and from there the next train for Saint-Étienne.
The buses can be found in terminal A. For Saint-Étienne you should buy your bus ticket from the desk by the door leading to the buses.
If you arrive in St-Étienne by the shuttle from St-Exupery, stop at "cours Hippolyte Sauzea" and then you can take the tram number 5 (direction "Terrasse"), the Hubert Curien Lab is near the tram stop "Chaléassière".
