11th International Heritage Roses Conference
(Chaalis, France, 13-15th of June 2007)
The 11th International Heritage Roses Conference is to be
held at the spectacular Royal Abbey of Chaalis situated 30
miles North of Paris, between the town of Senlis and the
Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
The Conference will run from 13th to 15th of June 2007. This
date has been chosen in line with the date of the WFRS
Regional Convention in Luxemburg (7th-10th of June)
The Royal Abbey
of Chaalis is a XVIIIth century abbey, now a public estate
which has been transformed into a museum, with a large park,
a rose garden, etc. It belongs to the Institut de France, an
institution regrouping the five French academies (Académie
Française, Academies of Sciences, of Fine Arts, etc.). The
region is marvelous and has a lot of facilities for an
international conference.
This 11th
International Heritage Roses Conference is organised by the
association Rosa Gallica, associated member of the World
Federation of Rose Societies, with the support of the
Institut de France and of the Abbey of Chaalis. A
Pre-Conference Tour will be organised between the Luxemburg
Regional Convention and the Conference itself (10-11-12
June), and a Post-Conference Tour will be organised after the
Conference (16-17 June).
A private tour to the National Collection of Gallicas at
Commer (near Laval) will be possible on the 18th of June.
Note : Most of the
lectures will be in English ; lectures in French will be
translated into English.
