M2 CLASS: INDICATIONS ABOUT OUR CLASSROOM

Dear HCEAI M2 students,

As I told some of the M2 students I met in the History department, our classroon is located on 06 rue Jean Calvin, Paris (5th district).

It's a CROUS building but in fact our classroon is NOT on the 06 rue Jean Calvin but at the opposite of this street.

So, cross this street, there is a black door on the opposite building to 06 rue Jean Clavin, open it and go downstairs.

Could you please send these indications to the rest of the M2 students? 

Reminder: class is on Tuesdays, from 3 pm to 4:30 pmThanks in advance and best regards, 

Mounir Nassor
