Gala Dinner

The Gala dinner will be held in an atypical setting - a last chance to casually mingle while enjoying international cuisine at Chaud Bouillon’s food court. Chaud Bouillon is located in a renovated factory in one of Lille’s previously industrial areas. Don’t hesitate to check out their Instagram page!
