The public transport network
The Tbc public transport network serves all 28 municipalities in the Bordeaux Urban Community.
It provides 3 tram lines, 65 bus lines, 139 VCub self-service bicycle stations, 2 BatCub bus-boats , 18
Park & Rides, 10 passenger interchanges, a bicycle parking lot, and a transport service for reduced
mobility passengers.
These transport modes can be mixed and matched to always provide you with a transport solution
that’s right for your commuting requirements
Tram
The 3 tram lines, A, B and C, serve all the major facilities within the greater urban area.
The A line provides east-west linkage across the urban area, connecting the right and left banks.
Stops include Hôpital Pellegrin, the Chaban Delmas stadium, downtown Bordeaux and the Cenon
TER station.
The B line provides the greater urban area’s south-north linkage. Leaving from Pessac, it serves the
Talence / Pessac campus, downtown Bordeaux, the Quais des Chartrons and the Hangars.
The C line also provides north-south linkage across the city. It serves the Bordeaux Saint Jean
station, which it connects to downtown Bordeaux and to the inner-lying neighbourhoods of
Bordeaux Lac. If you live, study or work outside the greater urban area, make the most of our 18
Park & Rideslocated along the three tram lines, as well as the 26 interchange hubs between TER
stations and the Tbc network.
Until midnight and more
Trams run between 5 a.m. to 00h30 and until 1h15 the Thursday, Friday et Saturday at 4 to 7 mn
intervals during the day and 8 to 15 mn intervals the rest of the time.
3 tram lines

Bus lines
65 bus lines, including 36 wheelchair-accessible, serve the greater urban area to meet your mobility
needs. Get to know them, they’ll help you get around!
To go faster, further, take a Lianes! To reach an outlying suburb without a detour through Bordeaux,
you’ll need a Corol. All the bus lines have their own special purpose: to take you as close as possible
to your destination.
Go further, faster, on a Lianes!
Lianes are “super busses” that rival the tramway for sheer performance.
With simple, direct routes, The Lianes are one of the Tbc’s backbones:

Lianes run like the trams, and there’s an evening service too: from 5 a.m. until the last tram
departure time (1.15 a.m.)

Lianes run at guaranteed regular intervals (10 to 15 minutes depending on the Liane) from 7
a.m. to 8 p.m.

Lianes provide at least two connections to the tramway.
Main Lines, to go the extra mile
The main lines take Lianes passengers further afield to popular neighbourhoods and facilities.

The main lines connect peripheral municipalities to Bordeaux city centre

Run from Monday to Sunday from 5.30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

20 to 30 minutes intervals during the daytime

Always interconnect with Lianes and the tramway.
Corols, to avoid the city centre
Skirt the greater urban area and avoid downtown Bordeaux!

Peripheral routes to get to outlying municipalities faster

Run from Monday to Saturday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

20, 30 or 60 minute intervals depending on the Corol

Interconnect with Lianes and the tramway
Citéis, close to where you live
At the core of each municipality, residential or business area, Citéis bus lines closely interconnect
neighbourhoods within the same municipality, residential and business areas, and municipal
facilities, by forming a network that’s truly in touch with its users.

Simple, direct routes

Run from 6.30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Monday to Saturday, sometimes Sundays
Flexo /Résago, tailored to your travel needs
Tailored transport solutions to take you as close as possible to your destination

Flexo lines: both a regular and customised transport solution, Flexo bus lines are ushering in
a new way of getting from place to place that’s both flexible and modular.

Résago lines run on request after booking by phone the day before.
Other lines: local and special

These lines take you deep into residential & business areas, and to educational and leisure
venues as well, with a link to Lianes or the tramway.
Local lines: every 30 to 45 min
Special lines: anyone can use them but specifically serve schools and high schools.
Bicycles VCub
The VCub service makes 1,545 bicycles available to users 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 139
stations.
You borrow a bike from any station you want and return it to any other.
Travel time under 30 minutes is free of charge if you’re a member (1 day = 1 €, 1 year = 15 €, more
tariffs).
► Reinvent the way you travel
Most VCub stations are located in the immediate vicinity of a bus stop, a tram stop or a train station
and provide the perfect interconnection for making bicycles part of your commuting strategy. They
can help you get to your morning tram station earlier, return home faster in the evening, easily
reach a location that’s not directly served by a bus line, or just to make the most of the city’s lifestyle
(in downtown Bordeaux, the stations are only 300 metres apart!). Excellent for your mobility, health,
and the environment!
► Taking you all the way there
31 VCub+ stations are located at bus and tram terminuses, near schools, educational facilities and
employment areas. Spread over 14 peripheral municipalities, they offer Tbc pass holders special
fares and up to 20 consecutive hours free of charge when used to interconnect with the tramway or
bus lines. You reach your final destination by bike. This system lets you arrive at work by bike and
you only have to return it to its home station in the evening, or, if you prefer, return home by bike
and only return it the next morning when you continue your journey by bus, tram, or train...
http://www.vcub.fr/
Peace of mind knowing your bicycle is always safely parked
Do you already use your own bicycle on a regular basis? VCub also offers 800 parking slots available
near tram stations and bus stops plus a secure parking facility at the Saint-Jean station to facilitate
interchange.
The secure parking facility at the Saint-Jean station:

250 places

BEM Bordeaux Management School managed by Philip McLaughlin (main campus located in
Bordeaux), and Euromed Management managed by Bernard Belletante (main campus located in
Marseille) have committed themselves to a merger process which will be finalised in July 2013, with
the opening of KEDGE Business School.
BEM and Euromed Management both have similar levels in terms of ranking, and share common
values and ambitions:

The professional development of their students (student projects, Internships,
vocational training...)
An extremely wide choice of courses, flexibility and autonomy
An personalized approach with an emphasis on the balance between personal and
professional development
Responsibility, a value which runs throughout our teaching
The encouragement and accompaniment of entrepreneurship and creativity
Strengthened by these common objectives, cultural complementarity and fields of expertise, this

I. THE CITY OF BORDEAUX .
3
As early as the 3rd century AD, Bordeaux – called "Little Rome" at the time – was a
prosperous Gallo-Roman city.
The Middle Ages were a time of major economic development thanks to the wine trade.
Bordeaux is also on the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compostela and some of the historic part
of the city has been listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007.
In the 18th century, talented urban developers and architects transformed the city under the
impulsion of royal intendants.
At the present time, the mayor of Bordeaux has initiated a number of ambitious public works
projects worthy of a major European city. The redevelopment of the quays is the most
striking example.
Cruise ships often come to weigh anchor along the Bordeaux waterfront, one of the most
beautiful in Europe. The quays are bordered by the Place des Quinconces, the largest
square in Europe.
From Saint Pierre to Sainte Croix the Squares of Old
Bordeaux are to be found throughout one of the largest
examples of 18th and 19th century architecture.
Saint Pierre: The Saint Pierre district is a maze of
La Grosse Cloche
streets lined with beautiful buildings, many of which are
craftsmen's boutiques and artists' workshops. However,
the district also features avant-garde show rooms. Saint
Pierre's many squares offer picturesque outdoor
restaurants and cafés in which to enjoy a relaxing
moment.
Les Chartrons: Virtually self-sufficient, the Chartrons
district has a village atmosphere and plenty of quality
boutiques. The Chartrons includes Rue Notre Dame, a
street full of antique dealers, second-hand shops, and art
galleries, as well as Rue du Faubourg des Arts, which
has recently become devoted to art and designers in a
variety of fields.
Moreover, Bordeaux is located one hour away
from the beach. La Dune du Pyla, located at
the entrance of the Bay of Arcachon, opposite
the Pointe du Cap Ferret, is the biggest sand
dune of Europe. Measuring 105 meters high,
2700 meters long, 500 meters wide and with a
volume of 20 million cubic meters of sand, the
"Big Dune" is the most visited spot of the coastal
area, with over 1 million visitors per year. It has
been declared an "important national site" in
1978.
Contrary to what one might think, the Dune du
Pyla is of reasonably recent origin. In 1855, it
was only 35 meters high. According to experts,
its origin is due to the disappearance of an
enormous sand-bank that, in the 18th
century, used to lie before the coast, and
also linked to the permanent supply of
sand by the wind.

In the world of Business Schools, international accreditations play a special role. In
addition to other guarantees of quality (recognition by the French government and the
Conférence des Grandes Ecoles), these three quality labels guarantee the academic
and professional excellence of the school’s degree programs. They confirm world-wide
recognition of its degrees according to European and North American criteria.

Melting Potes Association
Melting Potes is an association established to help international students coming to BEMKEDGE Business School to get settled in and to support them on their adventurous journey
abroad. From the arrival in France until the departure back home, people from Melting Potes
are assisting incoming students with all that has to be done to get started. This includes
finding accommodation in Bordeaux, offering a free pick-up service on arrival day, opening a
French bank account, as well as helping with legal paperwork such as housing contracts,
mobile phone service providers or the CAF financial aid.
But more than that, the people of Melting Potes want to make sure that international students
are well integrated in the student life at BEM and in Bordeaux in general by organizing
events and other social activities throughout the year. Meeting new people at parties,
exploring the country on week-end trips or just enjoying some leisure activities together – the
Melting Potes are trying their best to make sure that international students feel welcomed in

Public transport information
TBC tram & Bus
The tramway serves the town, crossing the Garonne via the Pont de Pierre. A
distinctive feature of the tramway is that within the inner city, it has no overhead wires.
The electric bus, called la navette du centre ville, is the only public transportation on
pedestrian roads. There are no bus stops for this one: to board an electric bus, wave
your hand to the driver – he will stop the bus and let you on. When you want to go out,
just tell the driver.

IV. HOW TO FIND ACCOMMODATION? .
20
BEM-KEDGE Business School welcomes many international students each semester, and
is happy to help them finding accommodation.
Housing in Bordeaux is difficult to find, so we strongly recommend students to book
accommodation before arrival.
Please note that the School does not have its own dormitories, that is why we try to offer
you as many options as we can. For that, we are supplied by a student association “Melting
Potes” that helps students to find suitable accommodation on the private market (details
further below).
Your housing options
CROUS: Student residence halls
Most of them are located on the campus of Talence and well served by public
transportation. They provide furnished rooms or shared flats at the cheapest rate
(between 250€ and 360€/month all included).
Due to the low number of rooms available for BEM-KEDGE BS Students, only longterm students staying for at least 2 semesters will be offered this option.
Contact: [email protected] before June 15th
On-campus residence in Talence (campus 1 & 2)
DOMOFRANCE (adjacent to the school in Talence, Campus 1 and 2)
Résidence “Le Campus”
80 rue Ronsard, 33405 Talence
Fax: (33) 556 43 42 92
http://www.domofrance.fr
This residence provides furnished individual flats to international students. It offers facilities
such as launderette, caretaker and tennis court.
It is run by a social organism (Domofrance) and dedicates a few flats for BEM-KEDGE BS
international students.
The rent is around 400€ /450€ per month (all charges included except electricity).
Important: If you are coming for the Fall semester, it is compulsory to book (and pay)
the flat from July included. It may be an opportunity for you to spend some vacation in
Bordeaux during the summer!
Contact: For reservation: [email protected] before June 1st
For additional information: [email protected]
21
Private residences: Campus 1 & 2 (Talence) Campus 3 (Mérignac)
Private residences are managed by private societies and provide fully furnished and
equipped flats with many facilities.
They are located mostly in Talence (Campus 1 & 2) and Merignac (Campus 3) but a few of
them are also in Bordeaux.
The price generally depends on the length of your stay but is around 550-600€/ month for a
single flat and 800-900€/ month for a double flat without charges.
They usually ask you, in order to book your flat, to pay 2 months of rent + the 1 month
deposit before your arrival.
BEM-KEDGE BS has special rates with some of these residences, that is why it is
recommended to book through our housing advisor, but you can find all their details on the
site: www.adele.org
We advise you to book in advance as they are frequently requested.
Contact: [email protected] before July 1st
The private market
Another possibility is to rent a room or a shared flat on the private market (flats run by
landlords).
The prices can be very different as it depends on the location, if the flats are furnished or not
and if the charges are included.
To give you an idea, the rents are around 450-650€/ month for an individual flat and 800900€/month for a 2 bedroom flat.
For that matter, you can be helped by the student association “Melting Potes”.
They are in direct relation with private landlords who agree to welcome international students
without French guarantor.
Nevertheless, note that the Melting Potes members are no estate agents but students who
volunteers to welcome you, so we would be grateful for your patience with them.
Contact: [email protected] before August 1st
If you speak a little French, you can also and in the meantime, look for a room or a shared
flat on dedicated websites:

General information about housing
Housing Insurance
French regulations stipulate that all tenants must take out a housing insurance covering
common risks (civil responsibility, fire, flood, theft). You must show a statement of
housing insurance to obtain the keys of the apartment.
The Melting Potes association can help you getting housing insurance by opening a bank
account. Contact: [email protected]
Housing benefit from the CAF
The French Caisse d'Allocations Familiales (C.A.F) grants a monthly amount to help
students pay their housing in France. It is automatically granted to students who are from
E.U. Non E.U. students may receive - or not - this housing benefit depending on the type
of visa they are holding. Please note that if it is written on your visa “Dispense
temporaire de carte de séjour”, you are not eligible for this grant.
Students should submit their file to the CAF upon arrival, which will inform them
whether or not they are entitled to receive the housing benefit. This housing benefit
("Aide Pour le Logement - APL") is subject to income conditions.
As soon as you have your definitive housing address in France, apply for it on-line on
http://www.gironde.caf.fr
Once your application is accepted, the amount will be transferred to your bank account in
France. It can only be backdated three months and the first and the last month are never
granted.
23
Caisse d'Allocations Familiales de la Gironde
Rue du Docteur Gabriel Péri, 33078 Bordeaux Cedex
Open Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
On-line data service: 0 810 29 29 29
You will receive a confirmation letter from the CAF by post so make sure your name is
written on your accommodation’s mail box!
Miscellaneous:
Vocabulary:
 Rental contract : the rental contract ("bail" or "contrat de location") describes
the apartment, the rent, how and when the rent should be paid and revised, the
amount of the deposit and the date on which the lease begins. Two copies are
made and signed by the landlord and the tenant (that's you). One copy is for
you.
The landlord should send or give you a receipt for each rental payment made. This is
necessary not only as proof of payment, but also to give you the proof of where you
are living ("justification de domicile"), so frequently requested by the administrative
services (for immigration services, to open a bank account and so on)...
 The inventory of fixtures ("état des lieux") prior to moving in, is a complete inventory
of the contents and the condition of the property established between the landlord
and the tenant. This inventory is signed by both parties and each one keeps a copy.
This is an important document as it meticulously describes the state of the apartment
on entry, and is referred to when the tenant leaves the property. This inventory has to
be done when you arrive and when you leave the apartment.
 The deposit ("depôt de garantie"), is equivalent to one month rent, and kept by the
landlord until the tenant leaves the apartment. It is returned after all money owing on
the apartment has been paid (rent, repairs, utilities, etc...)
The landlord has a legal delay of 2 months after the tenant’s check out to give the
deposit back.
If there is any damage, the deposit is used to pay for any necessary repairs or
cleaning.
Pay attention to all the details (broken furniture or damaged walls) because you will
be charged (on your guarantee “caution”) for any differences.
 The French Residence Tax (Taxe d'habitation) is an annual residence tax imposed
on the occupier of a property in which they were resident on January, 1st of each year.
It is approximately equivalent to one month rent.
Warning:
 If you rent a furnished apartment, the rental agreement is for 1 year but can be
dismissed by a registered letter (“lettre avec accusé de reception”) 1 month prior to
your departure and should specify that the apartment is furnished.
24
 If you rent a non-furnished apartment, the rental agreement usually is of 3 years but
can be dismissed by a registered letter (“lettre avec accusé de réception”) 3 months
prior to your departure (read very carefully your rental contract as it must be written
on it).
Useful Abbreviations
CC or Cc: "charges comprises" >> operating costs included
TCC: "toutes charges comprises" >> all costs included
T1 or F1: the number after the T or F indicates the number of rooms in the apartment
(except bathroom & kitchen)
RDC: "rez-de-chaussée" >> ground-floor
SDB: "salle de bains" >> bathroom
SDE: "salle d'eau" >> shower
Tips for your housing hunt:
 You will need to find a furnished apartment or you will need to buy furniture (you can
always sell it back to the other international students the following semester).
 If possible, try to avoid Estate Agencies, as they will charge you a lot and will ask for
French guarantor. Try to deal directly with owners.
 Never send money in advance to private proprietor (except for private residences)
 Do not buy flat lists
 Do not forget to ask if the utilities (heat, hot water, cold water, waste, elevator) are
included or not in the rent. If not, be aware that you will have additional bills. If the
rent is 380 € TTC, it means that all the operating costs are included. If the rent is 350
€ + 45 € CC, it means a rent of 350 € and 45 € for operating costs for a total cost of
395 € / month. Always ask exactly which are the operating costs included in the rent
to avoid nasty surprises!
 A studio is a room from 18 to 30 m2 with a small kitchen & bathroom. Price: around
450-650 €/month.
 A F2 or T2 is a two-room apartment (living room and bedroom) with a bathroom &
kitchen. Price: around 800-900 € / month.
 If you intend to book a room in a hotel, per day, you will pay a minimum of 60 € per
day.
 Rent is to be paid in advance, usually before the 5th of the month by check or bank
transfer. In addition to the first month's rent, you will often have to make a deposit of 1
month of rent.

V. HEALTH & INSURANCE .
26
French National Health Insurance
By law, all students being less than 28 years old on October 1st of the current academic year,
and studying in France for more than 3 months, are required to register with the French
National Health Insurance through their French higher Education Institution (i.e: BEMKEDGE Business School) before the start of their courses. The registration fee was of €207
in 2012-2013. This registration is COMPULSORY for the students in order to be given
their Student ID card and to be admitted in class
Exceptions
Students from Quebec
Students from Quebec are required to come with their SE-401-Q-106 form in order to be
covered by the French National Health Insurance (“Sécurité Sociale Française"). In this case,
Quebec students are not required to subscribe to the French National Health Insurance.
Students holding a European Health Insurance card
Students from the European Union are required to come with their European Health
Insurance Card in order to be covered by the French National Health Insurance. In this
case, E.U. students are not required to subscribe to the French National Health Insurance.
Students being more than 28 or studying less than 3 months
Students being more than 28 years old on October 1st of the current academic year or
studying in France for less than 3 months will not be able to register with the French National
Health Insurance but will have to give a proof of personal health insurance coverage before
the start of their courses in order to be admitted in class and given their Student ID card.
Warning
In the event of sickness, the French National Health Security “Sécurité Sociale Française"
- http://www.ameli.fr - refunds a certain percentage or the expenditure based on set charges
called "tarifs de base (TB)" or "tarifs conventionnés (TC)". The coverage is sufficient for a
very basic visit at the General Doctor, but might not be sufficient to cover higher expenses
such as hospitalization, change of glasses, dental / eye surgeries, etc... We therefore highly
recommend students to subscribe for a complementary health coverage (complémentaire
santé) in order to benefit from a better coverage.

► Do not hesitate to contact our International Students Association “Melting
Potes” who are used to help International Students opening bank accounts.
Bank card, check book, withdrawals
You will be given a checkbook and/or a bank card once you have opened an account.
Withdrawal
You can use bank cards to withdraw money from all Post offices and bank cash points
(even if it is not the same bank). Cash points provide around the clock services and
they accept several types of cards ("Visa", "Eurocard", etc….). Some banks authorize
an overdraft ("un découvert"), with bank charges, of course.
Monthly bank transfer
Please note that you can pay your rent by monthly bank transfer to your owner's bank
account or by check.

Theft - Be Aware!
Experienced pickpockets are quick to spot people who look lost or uncertain of their
way, so be very careful with your wallet or handbag during the first weeks of your stay
in France. The loss or theft of your bank cards or check book should be reported as
soon as possible.
Here are the three steps to stop payment:
Call the bank center to stop payment
All bank cards: 0892 705 705 (0.34€/mn) 7days/7 - 24h/24h.
You will be asked for the reference numbers of your checks or card as well as your
account number. Do no give your PIN number.
NB: Do not keep your PIN number with your card; should there be a legal dispute,
you will be held responsible by the bank for charges made to your card.
Report the loss or theft to the nearest police station
Confirm your loss or theft
Either go to your bank, or send a fax, or a registered letter ("recommandé avec accusé
de reception") to confirm your loss or theft, enclosing a copy of the report of theft made
to the police.
