In the Dark

I’m up reasonably early this morning to embark on the first leg of a visit to France. My first stop is at Montpellier on the French Riviera, where I’m giving a talk this afternoon at the Laboratoire Univers et Particules de Montpellier (LUPM) and will be staying for a few days before heading North to Paris and then back South again to Barcelona next week.

I’m looking forward to the trip as all three legs are on TGVs, which I’m told are comfortable, and I’ll hopefully get some nice views on the way. I’ve actually been to Montpellier before, to be on the jury for a PhD examination, but that was a long time ago and I don’t remember it very well.

Update: the travel went smoothly. It was a bit of an adventure getting the tram from Montpellier Saint-Roch railway station to the campus, and a bit more of an adventure navigating the building sites on the way to the seminar venue, but I got there in time and the talk went well. Now I have to find my hotel and then it will be necessary to consume alcoholic beverages.
