Method
- Source: the travel times calculated for each Alfred Meeting seminar venue from Paris, Lyon and Lille, or confirmed by the venue.
- Door-to-door trip by train and public transport, from the centre of the departure city to the venue's address: the best time for a 7 am or 9 am departure.
- We publish the median time of each city, rounded to 5 minutes: no time is that of one particular venue.
- Last updated: October 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Why organise a seminar that can be reached by train?
The train avoids driving and parking, lets participants work during the journey and greatly reduces the carbon footprint of the trip compared with the car or the plane.
Is the time shown the train journey alone?
No: it is a door-to-door time, from the centre of the departure city to the venue, including connections and the last leg. The train journey alone is therefore shorter.
How do I find a venue less than 2 hours from my city?
Open the catalogue from the departure city: it only keeps venues less than 2 hours away by train and public transport. You can then filter by capacity, format and budget.
Can the venue arrange a transfer from the station?
Many venues offer a shuttle from the nearest station, sometimes at an extra cost: this information is on their page or in their quote.
How much does Alfred Meeting's support cost?
Nothing for your company: searching and comparing quotes is free.
How do I get quotes from venues reachable by train?
Describe your project: dates, number of participants, departure cities and any other criterion that matters to you. A project manager selects suitable venues, checks their availability and sends you their quotes, with no commitment.
