The Conference
The Logicum Urbanae Lugduni will be held in Lyon, France, in July 2009.
It revolves around the UIUC model theory group and its research themes, and seeks to reunite the researchers and students of the group (both in the present and in the past) who have made it a world renowned centre for the study and development of model theory.
The meeting will take place at the Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1 (Braconnier Bldg.), which is in a suburb called Villeurbanne.

Restaurants and coffeehouses in Lyon
Amador has kindly compiled a list of restaurants in Lyon. You can consult the list (and Amador's commentaries) here.
It's hard to find coffeehouses in Lyon where one can actually work. Itaï's favorite is A Chacun sa Tasse (2, Rue du Griffon), a teahouse with a large selection of good teas and nice couches in the second floor. Javier and Álex, on the other hand, recommend Tasse Livre (38 rue sergent Blandan), a good coffeehouse-bookstore with wireless internet access that reminds them of the good old days at the Green Street Coffeehouse (ca. 2003).
