ESRS Banquet

Friday, 7 September 2012 20.00

The ESRS banquet will be held at the “Le Théâtre du Merveilleux” located in a historic wine storage facility in Paris. The Théâtre du Merveilleux takes its inspiration from a form of entertainment that emerged in the late 19th century which used the latest scientifi c inventions, such as the magic lantern, in order to impress and astonish the audience.
This event venue has been created in the spirit of the famous European “Cabinets of Curiosities” which originated in the late 16th century. The visitor who meanders inside discovers an extraordinary decor that has been liberally inspired from fairy tales and myths from around the world.

Price per person: € 85.–
