Accommodation

HFP2026 will be held at the same location as all previous HFP courses, which is the Belambra Club « Les Terrasses de St Paul-de-Vence » located in La Colle-sur-Loup, France. This resort is situated 12 kilometers from Nice International Airport, providing easy access to all participants. This Provençal-style residence located between the French Riviera and Nice's back country has sufficient capacity (88 single rooms and 178 two room apartments, all with hotel service) to host all participants who will be housed only and exclusively at the venue. The Belambra Club is experienced in hosting seminars and conferences, and includes seminar facilities appropriate to the size of the proposed lecture course. Smaller seminar rooms are also available for informal discussions and a dedicated space will be available for the poster sessions. The site was highly appreciated by attendees of the previous HFP Courses and the facilities have undergone an update in recent years. The restaurant is using a buffet-style service that was highly appreciated by previous participants.

The Residence is located within a 25 acre private pine-tree forest and provides numerous recreational and leisure facilities: bar with terrace, TV room, American pool table, outdoor swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, bowls pitch and 3 tennis courts, thus creating a friendly atmosphere conducive to interactions between the lecture course participants. Possibly on one of the afternoon breaks we will organize again a swimming relay competition between participants coming from different countries. Some years ago, this was a very successful social activity.

Venue
Buses shuttle will be organized from and to the International
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport on the Saturday 16th afternoon and Friday 22th morning, respectively. More details will be posted later.
