Wednesday 2 September 2009
We can now confirm the "Greniers Saint-Jean", rue Gay Lussac, Angers as venue for the informal pre-conference cocktail. Delegates are invited to drop by any time between 18h00 and 21h00 to share a glass, meet with others. The advantage of the venue is that delegates who will have come to the Greniers Saint-Jean on Wednesday night will have no trouble finding the venue for Thursday night, as it's only 100 m from the Jean Lurçat Museum. They are a short walk from the city centre, or the nearest bus stop is "La Rochefoucauld" on lines 8 and 9.
