SOCIAL PROGRAM
     
     
We plan a cocktail party on the first day at the University after the last
lecture and an excursion to St. Emilion on Tuesday afternoon. This small
city, 60km from Bordeaux, has a very curious church partially dug in the
rock and several Romanesque buildings and ruins. It is nicely situated on a
hill overlooking the vineyards, These vineyards, called "Chateaux", are very
famous (they form one branch of the large Bordeaux family of wines); we
shall visit Chateaux and taste their wine. A banquet at the "Chateau de
Vayres" (16th century) will close the day. Evening dressing is not required
for the cocktail party and the banquet.
     
     
     
REGISTRATION FEE
     
     
     
The registration fee of 1 200F includes one copy of the proceedings (they
should be available at the conference), coffee breaks, three lunches,
excursion and banquet. Each extra lunch ticket costs 90F and an extra ticket
for the excursion and banquet costs 250F. The same amounts will be deducted
form the registration fee if you choose not to participate in the excursion
or some of the lunches. Please mark the registration form accordingly.
     
Reduced registration fees are available especially for students, upon
request to B.COURCELLE, made as soon as possible.
     
Registration fees must be paid on the first day by postal or bank checks (in
French Francs) or traveller checks in any currency. Credit cards cannot be
