Dijon is easily accessed from Paris by using the TGV, the fatest train in the
world: one hour and a half from Paris, for abouT 200 miles. The station is 
located in the center of the City, a mere ten minute from the Conference
location, at the faculte des lettres, 36 rue Chabot Charny.
 Dijon is a very famous city, whose history goes back to the first centuries.
Dijon became the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy in the year 1016. The Dukes
of Burgundy reached the summit of their power during the 14th and 15th century,
until they were defeated by the king of France, Louis XI, against whom they
were fighting. During this period, many constructions were built, including 
the Palace of the Dukes, The Church of our Lady, the Chaterhouse, all worth 
visiting. But Dijon is also rich in hundreds of old houses, hotels, Churches 
and Cellars, among which the Cellier de Clairveaux, where our lunches will 
take place.
 Dijon is also known as one of the capitals of the French gastronomy:
gingerbread, mustard, black-currant liqueur, hahn chambertin, snails, ... . 
And of course, there are good restaurants.
 Finally Dijon is the world famous capital of Burgundy, where the most subtle 
French wines come from: Clos Vougeot, Chambertin, Romanee Conti for red wines,
Corton Charlemagne (the wine elected by king Charlemagne), Meursault Goutte
d'Or and Montrachet for the white wines, are some of them. You are encouraged
to partipate in the tour, where some of these marvellous wines will be tasted. 
This tour will go through Meursault, the capital of the Burgundy wine, also a
very charming old city. It will end near Nuits Saint Gorges, where the Congress
dinner will take place.  Let us hope a sunny weather, which is usual at that
period, and you will never forget this tour!
