On Saturday morning the "chêne de l'amitié" was planted in the Eilenroc gardens and then the official celebration took place in the Villa. Afterwards Mayor Leonetti offered a grandiose reception on the terrace of Villa Eilenroc.The other highlight of our 25th anniversary was a dinner and dance organized by the association at the Eden Casino in Juan-les-Pins.
