Social Program on Thursday July 7th 2016

On the last day of the conference (Thursday, July 7th), you will participate in the social program prepared by the conference organizer.

The social program is divided into two visits:

1. Visit to the wine and champagne producer: The Barfontarc Housens:
Awaken your taste buds and your mind while getting acquainted with the art of champagne wine tasting!

The De Barfontarc House fashioned in the image of their winemakers, country men and women embodying the character and originality of their land.
About a hundred hectares devoted to sharing expertise and harvests, highlighting the specific character, the authentic spirit and true identity of De Barfontarc champagne.
With extreme precision and perfect knowledge of the terroir the oenologists of our House have composed the harmony of each and every vintage wine by pressing the juice out of each bunch of grapes. The De Barfontarc House invites you to discover the fruit of their know-how through a guided tour of the cellars.

2. A Guided Tour to The Charles de Gaulle Memorial:
The Genesis of the Memorial

Much more than a traditional presentation of the man who launched the "Appeal of the 18 June" or of the first President of the 5th French Republic, the Memorial constitutes a true rendezvous with 20th century history and an encounter with Charles de Gaulle.
Considered as the pedestal of the Cross of Lorraine, the building takes in the character of Charles de Gaulle at the heart of modernity and in the landscapes of Colombey-les-deux-églises, for which he had particular affection.
It was in this village that he decided to settle with his family in 1934, and it was here that he made history by greeting the German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.

His family home, La Boisserie has been open to the public for several decades, but Colombey-les-deux églises has to be visited to gain a better understanding of his character.

The Charles de Gaulle Memorial, by fulfilling this role, adds to the remembrance of this most illustrious of Frenchmen.

Mémorial Charles de Gaulle - 52330 Colombey-les-deux-églises - FRANCE
