French Gathering

Vincenti gathering

September 24 & 25 2011

Clan Monroe France

The 9th Monroes in France gathering was held September 24 & 25 2011 in the magnificent Domaine de Vincenti, property of Bernard and Brigitte de Valence (Henri-Dieudonné Monroe’s branch), close to Crest, in the Drôme region. The atmosphere was particular: Donald Monroe, President of the association Clan Monroe France since its creation in 1998, decided to hand over on power. Yves Monroe (Louis-Eugène Monroe’s branch) was elected President.

We thank again Donald Monroe for these past 25 years of devotion, since 1986, with the first family gathering held in Nodon-Grâne, followed by the ones of Le Bretail (1996), Founex (1998), Viviers (2000), Saint Germain en Laye (2002), Provins (2004), Lacoste (2006) and Pouvray (2009), without forgetting the organization of the 3 journeys to Scotland at the occasion of the Clan Munro gatherings (1987, 1997 and 2007).

Program of the gathering :

• meetings and exchanges between cousins of the different branches (Charles-Nicolas, Louis-Eugène and Henri-Dieudonné Monroe).
• visit of the remarkable sites of the region (including  the Grâne property of our cousin Marc Estrangin).
• evening in the company of our two Scottish guests who pleased us to join us during these two days : Aline Munro of Foulis, Chief of the clan’s daughter, and Donald Monro of Auchinbowie.
• annual general meeting of the Clan Monroe France.
• presentation and sale of Guy Monroe’s book «The Monroes in France ».

We hope to be more people for the next editions.

We will contact you soon to propose you the next projects, including a new gathering in France in 2013 and a journey to Scotland in 2014 at the occasion of the coming Clan Munro Gathering.
