Les Echansons successfully organized our first International Congress in Champagne in 1966, followed by several others, most recently in 2014, again in Champagne. Claude Josse succeeded Andr\u00e9 Bonin as President of F.I.C.B. in 1984, and passed the torch in 2014 to Alan Bryden, himself a Grand Officer of the Conseil des Echansons de France.\u201d    <\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.74718%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alan.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=320&#038;ssl=1 320w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"218\" data-id=\"7648\" data-link=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/?attachment_id=7648\" data-url=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alan.jpeg\" data-width=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alan.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Ouvrir l\u2019image 1 sur 3 en plein \u00e9cran\"><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.25282%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alanetlarcheveque.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alanetlarcheveque.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=640&#038;ssl=1 640w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"437\" data-id=\"7647\" data-link=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/?attachment_id=7647\" data-url=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alanetlarcheveque.jpeg\" data-width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/alanetlarcheveque.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Ouvrir l\u2019image 2 sur 3 en plein \u00e9cran\"><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/claudeetlarcheveque.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/claudeetlarcheveque.jpeg?strip=info&#038;w=640&#038;ssl=1 640w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"480\" data-id=\"7646\" data-link=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/?attachment_id=7646\" data-url=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/claudeetlarcheveque.jpeg\" data-width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/claudeetlarcheveque.jpeg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Ouvrir l\u2019image 3 sur 3 en plein \u00e9cran\"><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DISCOURS-C.JOSSE-70-ANS-ECHANSONS.pdf\">here for Claude Josse&#8217;s speech<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/70-ans_CEF_message-de-la-FICB.pdf\">here for Alan Bryden&#8217;s message<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday October 12, the Conseil des Echansons de France, a founding member of the FICB, celebrated its 70th anniversary.
