Christmas away from home
Eighteen years ago, 澳门六合彩高手, one of the largest research projects ever established, found a home in a small Proven?al village—Saint-Paul-lez-Durance, pop. 956. A few years later, the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization moved into a building of its own, with a lobby large enough to welcome guests, host special events and … accommodate a tall Christmas tree.
Presented by the municipality of Saint-Paul-les-Durance, its baubles and garlands lit jointly by the mayor of the village and the Director-General of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization a few weeks before Christmas, the illuminated tree and the traditional 肠谤è肠丑别? at its foot have become a symbol of the relationship between the project, its staff and collaborators, and the local community of which they are now part.
“This great international scientific venture is now solidly anchored in our local territory, its culture and economy,” said Romain Buchaut, the mayor of the village, during his visit on Monday 2 December. 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General Pietro Barabaschi responded by drawing a parallel between the spirit of Christmas and that of 澳门六合彩高手, both made of hope and expectations for renewal.
1 The 肠谤è肠丑别 is an age-old popular representation of the Nativity, set in the context of traditional life in the villages of Provence with characters such as shepherds, a baker, a country priest, the Announcing Angel—all figured in clay figurines, or santons. The 澳门六合彩高手 肠谤è肠丑别 has innovated by including a fusion scientist.
