Reaching Porquerolles from Marseille airport (Marignane) is not so direct but can be done in the following steps:
First, take a shuttle from the airport to the train station (Gare St Charles). There is about one shuttle every 10 minutes and the trip is 30-50 minutes long depending on traffic (which is usually relatively light on sunday). Tickets can be purchased online here.;
At St Charles, take a train to Hyères (the city in front of Porquerolles). Tickets can be purchased online on the website of SNCF (the french train company). It should take you about 1h15;
From Hyères train station you have to take bus 67 and get out at the last stop (Tour fondue) where the boats to Porquerolles depart. Timetables can be found here . The trip is about 30minutes long;
Finally you should take a boat to the island of Porquerolles (again a 30minutes trip). The timetable for the boats is available there. We have already booked boat tickets for everyone that will be sent to each participant prior to the conference.
To join IGESA (the conference venue) after getting out of the boat, you should first reach the village then take "rue de la Douane", the resort is at the top after a slight incline.
