The conference attendees will benefit of pleasant temperatures and sunny days in the middle of July to enjoy shopping, fine dining, and wonderful promenades. The area surrounding Dijon is also rich in historical sites, and the companion tours will offer visits to several of them.
Four tours have been selected this year, to help you discover the variety of the Burgundy region. Due to transport rules, each tour has a limited number of participants, so booking will be managed on a first-come first-served basis.
Each tour requires a minimum number of registered participants. If this number is not reached, we may be forced to cancel the tour. Should such a cancellation occur, all pre-registered participants will get full refund of their event registration fee.
To complete your information, please visit the "Bourgogne Tourisme" web site and the "Dijon Tourisme" web site.
