The IWNBP / FUNMOOD conferences will be held in Domaine des Hautannes in Saint Germain au Mont d'Or at 30 min north-west of Lyon (France).

Saint Germain au Mont d'Or is a small XIIth century medieval city dominating the Saône valley and located in the area of the massif of Monts d'Or in the north-west of Lyon. Saint Germain au Mont d'Or belongs to the golden stone villages region. These villages are very well-known to be divine at sunrise, magnificent in the reflections of the sunset. Their yellow ochre colour is absolutely unique and earned the name of Beaujolais Tuscany given to the region. St Germain au Mont d'Or is also at the border of the Beaujolais vineyards, whose Brouilly, Chiroubles or Moulin à Vent are the most famous vintages. An excursion with visit of medieval cities as well as a wine tasting and caves visit is planned during the workshop (most likely on Wednesday 26).
