Maisons-Alfort, belonging to the Val-de-Marne County, is a city located in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, approximately 10 km from the center of Paris.

Although a relatively small city (@ 56 000 inhabitants), a part from the location of the headquarters of ANSES, Maisons-Alfort is also known due to the National Veterinary School of Alfort (ENVA), which shares its campus with ANSES’ several departments and two of its main laboratories (Laboratory for Food Safety and Laboratory of Animal Health).

IMPORTANT

The participants are in charge of their own accommodation to attend the conference. Check "Accommodation" for more information regarding the hotels nearby the conference site.

The conference site is deserved by the Paris Metro Line N° 8 (« École Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort » station, 10 min walking) and by the RER D train line (« Maisons-Alfort-Alfortville » station, 15 min walking); see the visitors’ map below.

Arriving by plane

Paris is served by two major airports: « Charles de Gaulle (CDG) » and « Orly ». Both are located in the Paris suburbs. A third airport is located in Beauvais, at a distance of around 90 km from Anses.

Reaching the conference from Charles de Gaulle airport

To get from CDG airport to the conference site, the most convenient option is to take the regional RER train (line B) from the airport to Gare du Nord. From this take, take the Metro N° 4 going to « Bagneux - Lucie Aubrac » and get off to « Strasbourg-Saint-Denis ». From this station, take the Metro N° 8 (direction to « Créteil-Pointe du Lac ») and get off to « Ecole Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort ». From this station, you reach the conference site by walking (10 min) (see Google map for this short walk).

Reaching the conference from Orly airport

Once arrived to Orly airport, take the « Orlival automatic » train to « Antony » station of the regional RER train (line B). From « Antony », take the RER train line B (direction to « Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV ») and get off to « Châtelet-Les Halles ». Change here the RER B with RER D (direction to « Melun ») and get off to « Maisons-Alfort Alfortville » station. From here you can reach the conference site by walking (15 min) or by taking the bus N° 103 (direction to « Ecole Veterinaire de Maisons-Alfort » station) and get off to the terminus (« Ecole Veterinaire de Maisons-Alfort »).

Reaching the conference from Beauvais airport

There are several coaches (« navettes ») going to « Paris Porte Maillot » in Paris for each plain arriving to Beauvais (see https://www.aeroportparisbeauvais.com/acces-et-parking/navette-aerobus-paris-aeroport/).

From « Porte Maillot » (Paris) take the Metro line N° 1 (direction to « Château de Vincennes ») and get off to « Bastille » station. Here take the Metro line N° 8 (direction to « Creteil Pointe du Lac ») and get off to « Ecole Veterinaire de Maisons-Alfort ».

Foodborne Bacterial Toxins International Symposium

 

Foodborne Bacterial Toxins International Symposium (FBTIS): it is The First

Foodborne Bacterial Toxins International Symposium (FBTIS) is the ideal place to take stock of the state of the art, scientific advances, and health and socio-economic issues on toxin-producing bacteria in food. The ANSES Food Safety Laboratory is pleased to announce the first international symposium on foodborne bacterial toxins. This event, which is under the aegis of the French Society of Microbiology (SFM), The International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH) and the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Piemonte Liguria e Valle d'Aosta (IZSPLV, Italy), will take place from April 2 to 4, 2025, at ANSES - Maisons-Alfort (Paris, France). Over the course of these two days, the symposium will bring together recognized international experts to address – in a "One Health” perspective – the role of toxins produced by bacteria in foodborne diseases.

This first symposium will focus on staphylococci, Bacillus, and Clostridium. The scientific program will also cover regulatory, normative, scientific and analytical developments related to foodborne bacterial toxins as well as the challenges still to be met.
