June 29, 2011, 25 agricultural attachés from foreign embassies in France discover the Champagne-Ardenne region

On 29 June 2011, in collaboration with the Minister of Agriculture and the President of the region, Mr. Jean-Paul Bachy, CADev welcomed twenty-five agricultural attachés from foreign embassies in Paris to the Champagne-Ardenne region. Every continent was represented, in particular by China, Brazil, Russia, Austria and the United Kingdom.

At the heart of the Nogent l’Abesse wine-producing cooperative, they enjoyed a presentation about the region and its achievements in the fields of agriculture and food production.

They were able to appreciate the CIVC’s (Interprofessional Champagne Committee) influence on the protection of AOC Champagne and the preservation of the environment, as well as that of the IAR (Association for Industry and Agricultural Resources) on the development of non-food agricultural resources. The day concluded with a visit to the Pomacle-Bazancourt biorefinery site.

This visit also enabled them to discover this wonderful gastronomic region only 45 minutes from Paris.
