• Very pleasant forest environment
• Relatively light car traffic on the campus

• Challenges specific to the university site

• Very busy car access routes (from the town centre, you have to use Avenue Grammont and/or one of the bridges over the Cher; from the south, Avenue du Grand Sud / Avenue de Bordeaux; from the east, Avenue de la République).
• If you're coming from the north, you'll have to climb a hill (rue de la Bergeonnerie, avenue de Montjoyeux or rue de GrandCour)... However, these hills are not out-of-category mountain passes, and the climb is easy!

• The route to the site, which is a little remote, acts as an "airlock" to get going in the morning and unwind in the evening
• Once you've got used to it, going uphill is no longer a problem and is a good way to get a daily dose of light exercise
• Soft mobility gives free rein to a form of contemplation in this wooded environment where squirrels, green woodpeckers, etc. can be observed.
