Coming to Lille for the 3rd Journées du Club des utilisateurs d’automates pharmaceutiques (CUAP)? From 18 to 20 November 2026, this event brings hospital pharmacy professionals together to discuss automation, practical experience and collaboration between teams.

For your stay, La Maison Fives welcomes you to the Fives Cail neighbourhood, around 15 minutes on foot from Lille Grand Palais. Five guest rooms, a lounge to unwind in after the talks, and a neighbourhood to explore between conference sessions.

Three days of meetings, two venues to keep in mind

The programme begins on Wednesday 18 November at 6 pm at Lille Grand Palais, with a talk on new approaches to unit doses, followed by a buffet dinner.

On Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November, the meetings continue at the Institut Gernez-Rieux at Lille University Hospital (CHU), at 2 rue du Docteur Schweitzer.

The programme covers hospital pharmacy automation, interoperability, sustainability, workshops and practical feedback on project management. Plenty of opportunities to leave with new ideas, contacts and topics to discuss with your team.

Stay near Lille Grand Palais for the evening of 18 November

At La Maison Fives, we regularly welcome healthcare professionals and guests attending conferences at Lille Grand Palais. We know how good it feels to have somewhere comfortable to relax after a day of travelling and meeting people.

If you are looking for a hotel near Lille Grand Palais for the CUAP conference, our guesthouse offers an intimate alternative: five rooms with private bathrooms, interiors combining natural materials and vintage finds, and shared spaces reserved for our guests.

We call it our “Five-Room Hotel”: the spirit of a small design hotel, with the welcome of a home where the owners live.

Self check-in is available using the information sent before your stay, so you can plan your arrival around your journey and the conference schedule.

Getting to the Institut Gernez-Rieux from Fives

For the days at the CHU, take metro line 1 from Marbrerie towards CHU–Eurasanté, with no changes. Get off at CHU–Centre Oscar-Lambret, then walk to the Institut Gernez-Rieux.

Lille Grand Palais and the CHU are on separate sites, so plan your journey according to each day’s programme. Check timetables and service updates on the official Ilévia website before travelling.

A business trip, with a little time for Lille too

If your schedule leaves you a free evening, we will be happy to introduce you to Fives Cail. The former industrial halls, Brasserie Fives Cail and the lively shared tables at Chaud Bouillon give the neighbourhood a character all its own.

That is something we love sharing with our guests: coming for a conference and leaving having discovered a new corner of Lille.

Attending the CUAP conference? Check our availability for nights around 18, 19 and 20 November 2026.
