Tram stops are located close to your hotels (Jaude or Lagarlaye tram stations for hotel Lauréades, Universités tram station for the Maison Universitaire Internationale or the P'tit Dej. Hotel). To get to the Cézeaux campus, take the tram toward "La pardieu Gare" and get down at tram station Cézeaux - Pellez. To go downtown, take the tram at tram station Cézeaux - Pellez, toward "Les Vergnes".
