Wednesday Evening: Banquet
The conference evening banquet will take place in a typical "ferme Lauragaise"
(farm) located near a lake. France, and especially Toulouse, are world-wide
renowned for their gastronomy and you will appreciate local dishes like
"foie gras", "cassoulet", duck "magrets", cheeses and also the fabulous French
wines.
A bus will take the participants from the conference hotel and will drive them
back (no problem!).
Thursday Evening: Visit of the Bemberg Foundation
Named after its creator, the
Bemberg Foundation offers the public the opportunity to admire the collection of paintings and works or art united throughout his lifetime. Particularly rich in works from the Renaissance and the French modern school - notably with more than thirty Paintings by Pierre Bonnard - the collection also includes furniture, bronzes, books and a variety of works of art.
The Bemberg collection is presented in the exceptional setting of the
Hôtel d'Assézat, a town mansion in the Renaissance style, put at the disposal of the Fondation and entirely restored by the Toulouse town council.
You may use the map on the Town Hall web site if you want to locate it.
A bus will take the participants to the free visit. If you are interested, you must register
during the conference.
