Second announcement: June 26, 1997.


THE 40th SEMINAIRE LOTHARINGIEN DE COMBINATOIRE

(Bayreuth, Erlangen, Strasbourg)

will take place in

Hotel Belvedere,
Via Valassina, 31
I-22021 Bellagio, Italy
(on the lake of Como)
Tel. : [39] 31 950 410, Fax. : [39] 31 950 102

from Sunday, October 5, 1997 (evening) to Wednesday October 8, 1997 (afternoon).

Participants are expected to arrive for the dinner on Sunday and leave after lunch on Wednesday.

As it was said last year when the 38th Seminaire was organized at the same place, the location of Bellagio is magnificent, at the tip of the peninsula dividing the main two finger lakes forming the lake of Como. It is located at 30 km East from Lugano, 75 km North from Milano. Going down from Switzerland leave the San-Gottardo-Milano highway at Lugano (either exit), reach Menaggio and Cadenabbia and take the ferry boat for Bellagio. From the West reach the city of Como and ride either on the West Coast of the Lake to arrive at Cadenabbia or use the Eastern (narrow) road that goes from Milano through Erba. There are regular buses from the Como Railway Station to Bellagio (but not too late in the evening!). However it is wiser to make up a car pool and enjoy riding through the Italian Lake Region.
