 You can use the [[http://www.tisseo.fr/sites/default/files/plan_detaille_reseau.pdf | static pdf map]] or the [[http://www.tisseo.fr/en/interactive-map/ | interactive map]] of all buses / metro / tram lines to plan your trips / connections.  It allows you to work out itineraries between two different locations at specific dates / times, for instance between [[http://www.tisseo.fr/en/calculateur?o_p=Aéroport+%28BLAGNAC%29&dpt=Aéroport+BLAGNAC&dac=0&destination_class_filter=stop&d_p=14%2C+Avenue+Édouard+Belin+%28TOULOUSE%29&apt=14+Avenue+Édouard+Belin+TOULOUSE&arrival_class_filter=address&dy=2015-09-29&sh=16&sm=00&tm=17451448556060673&op=%3E%3E+Search | "Aéroport Blagnac" and "14 avenue Edouard Belin"]] (aka IRAP / OMP).

 ===== Bike rentals (VeloToulouse) =====
-Toulouse also features a network of bike rentals (not owned by Tisseo) called VeloToulouse (like Velib in Paris) with which you can pick a bike at one place and drop it somewhere else for the cost of one fare.
+Toulouse also features a network of bike rentals (by the Town Hall rather than by Tisseo) called [[http://www.velo.toulouse.fr/index.php|VeloToulouse]] (like Velib in Paris) with which you can pick a bike at one of the [[http://www.velo.toulouse.fr/Les-stations|250+ stations]] throughout Toulouse and drop it at any other station (there are several such stations close to OMP: #237, #223, #222 and #224).  A 1-day access to the bike network costs 1.2 € (as of 2015 Sept) and each bike trip within this day is free if shorter than 30 min (see [[http://www.velo.toulouse.fr/Abonnements-et-Tickets/Tarifs/Consultez-les-tarifs|fares]] for more information)
 ===== Suggested places to stay =====
+There are many hotels downtown Toulouse for a typical cost of about 80-100 € per night at the type of our workshop (many of them offering significant discounts for advanced booking), and for instance:
+  * [[http://www.hotel-albert1.com/en/ |Hotel Albert 1er]]
+  * [[http://www.pere-leon.com/en/ |Hotel Le Pere Leon]]
+  * [[http://wilson.hotel-oursblanc.com/eng/ |Hotel Ours Blanc Wilson]]
+  * [[http://en.hoteldesartstoulouse.fr|Hotel des Arts]]
+  * [[http://www.hotelcroixbaragnon.com/en/ |Hotel Croix Baragnon]]
+  * [[http://www.novotel.com/gb/hotel-8505-novotel-toulouse-centre-wilson/index.shtml|Novotel Toulouse Centre Wilson]]
+You can find many more using the usual hotel booking sites - but make sure that the hotel is located downtown, or at least close to a Tisseo metro / bus / tram station to ease your trips back and forth to IRAP / OMP during the workshop.
