Dear guests,
While your partners will be listening to highly scientific communications, we propose you a choice of three tours to visit our local area. The one with the more votes, the more attractive one for you, will be the only one that will be selected. If you had chosen another tour, you may then join the selected one or not.
If none is sufficiently attractive, you may just visit the city on your own or get information from the tourism office (a representative of the tourism office will be on site sunday 9th, end of afternoon).
You will receive information soon on how to vote for one tour (if you decide to make one…. no obligation).
The tour will be scheduled for wednesday, July 12th, but we might change the date if the meteorological conditions are not good enough.
