Outstanding event at the Four Seasons Hotel
Our Annual Chapitre took place at the Four Seasons Hotel. The prestigious, independently-owned, five-star resort is the pinnacle of luxury and style, combining impeccable facilities with world class hospitality and service. For these reasons the Four Seasons has regularly hosted Bailliage events.
This year we had 28 inductions and promotions. We were very honoured that among them was the new Ambassador of France in Cyprus, His Excellency René Troccaz, who received his Chaîne insignia as a Chevalier d’Honneur. Equally an honour was the presence of the Ambassador of Italy in Cyprus, His Excellency Guido Cerboni, also a Chevalier d’Honneur.
The Gala Dinner that followed the Induction Ceremony saw 150 members and guests taking much delight from the five courses and their accompanying wines.
