Social events

The conference banquet is taking place on Wednesday 20 June, at Centre Paul Langevin at 20:00. Everybody is invited, including accompanying persons (provided that we know about them). In case you or your accompanying person is not able to attend the banquet, please send an email to Uriel Frisch with the subject “EE250 banquet absence” or, after you come to Aussois, tell this to Andrei Sobolevskii in advance (Tuesday evening at the latest).

For aperitif, a typical French cocktail kir (white wine + blackberry liquor) will be served. Non-alcoholic beverages will be available on request. At the banquet itself, a fine Bordeaux wine Château Peybonhomme will be served (1 bottle per 4 persons; additional bottles will be available from the restaurant at 12 Euro apiece).

The menu of the banquet follows. We feel that most of you will be offended if we provide a translation of this beautiful French document. Enjoy!
