Dinner at the Hotel partiulier de Guenegaud (Club de la Chasse et de la Nature) and induction of new members
With Christmas just a few days away, we thought we'd spare a thought for all those members from Paris and other bailliages who have joined us in recent months and have yet to be inducted.
We thought about how we could make this happen. The magnificent Hotel Particulier de Guenegaud in the Marais, headquarters of the Club de la Chasse et de la Nature, was chosen as the venue for the induction ceremony, which will take place on Friday December 6 from 7.00 pm, and for the dinner that will follow.
The best of the season and game, along with fine wines, will be on the program for this evening for our new inductees, their spouses and all members of the Bailliage de Paris and Chaine who wish to attend.
It will be a great pleasure to share this moment together in such a beautiful setting, and above all to see our new ladies of the Chaine and our new knights with their cords.
