Folon Foundation ... The famous Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon put more than five hundred works just twenty minutes outside of Brussels, in the farm of the castle of La Hulpe. This charming and characteristic building in the middle of the marvellous Solvay Park is home to more than forty years of creation. Our meeting took place not far from this enlightening environment. We hope that research in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases will bring us as many joys and calm pleasures Folon put in his works, even when describing the life miseries (as we often are confronted with). Visit the Folon Foundation ... you will not regret it !
