Skal International celebrates its 80th Anniversary

70 foreign representatives from 19 countries. Skalleagues will enjoy a warm welcome Get Together Party on a stylish private boat on the river Seine in the evening of 11 July.

Skal International will celebrate the 80th Anniversary of its foundation in the French capital, in the city where it all started – in April 1934 – with an exclusive and unforgettable week-end in the City of lights from 11 to 13 July 2014!

“It was only natural for me to organise a celebration in Paris”, states President Karine Coulanges, “as I am the first French lady elected World President of Skal International, and this is indeed a great honour. France has not had a World President for 33 years!”

“We will host 70 foreign representatives from 19 countries. Skalleagues will enjoy a warm welcome Get Together Party on a stylish private boat on the river Seine in the evening of 11 July. This will be the occasion for networking and doing business among friends. On Saturday morning a guided city tour will allow them to discover or rediscover some major attractions of the elegant and history-filled French capital which will be followed by a visit to the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery for a ceremony to pay our respects to Skal’s Honourable Founding President, Florimond Volckaert, after which a lunch has been organised in a typical French Brasserie.

Everyone will then have some free time for more sightseeing or shopping before a special Gala Evening in the picturesque and traditional neighbourhood of Montmartre, where they will receive a welcome from the famous “Poulbots” and the President of the “Republic of Montmartre” before experiencing great food and wine with French Cancan dancers, local songs, at La Bonne Franquette a very historical place and most probably the best restaurant in Montmartre. The promise of a very fun evening.”
