The train station (tel 04.95.60.00.50) is on route du Port, 500m south of where the ferries arrive. The Bastia–Calvi bus stops just south of place Paoli in the town's main thoroughfare, avenue Piccioni. The SNCM office is on avenue J.-Calizi (tel 04.95.60.09.56), and the tourist office on the south side of place Paoli (April–June & Sept–Oct Mon–Fri 9am–noon & 2–5pm; July & Aug daily 9am–1pm & 2.30–7.30pm; tel 04.95.60.04.35, www.ot-ile-rousse.fr).L'Île Rousse fills up early in the year and it can be difficult to find a hotel at any time from May to October. Most places are modern buildings, more functional than personable. the town has two main campsites: Les Oliviers, 1km east (tel 04.95.60.19.92), and Le Bodri (tel 04.95.16.19.70), 3km west off the main Calvi road (you can get to the latter site direct by rail – ask for "l'arrêt Bodri").
