Your Guide to FIL Paris
Heading to Paris for EthCC? Here’s your all-access guide to everything the Filecoin community has going on across town next week.
First - make sure you’re registered for the FIL Paris Network Base, hosted by Filecoin Foundation. The Base is your hub for networking, coworking, workshops, and the world’s best swag (Hint: How do you say Biscuit in French?). Taking place on Le Son de la Terre, along the River Seine, the Network Base is open July 18-20, from 9 am to 10 pm. Register to reserve your spot. And scroll down for more Filecoin community events happening throughout the week.
Getting there
The Filecoin Network Base and much of FIL Paris programming this year will be anchored on the Le Son De La Terre, a massive houseboat docked on the River Seine. Remember that to get to it you will need to walk down the stairs off of Pont de l'Archevêché.
The stairs off Pont de l'Archevêché and the venue itself offer ramp access, and there’s an elevator between decks onboard.
