49. Meeting of The ESDR

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends

Bordeaux, best known for its wine châteaux, is featured on the ESDR 2019 poster* by one of its famous monuments known as ‘le pont de pierre’, a stone bridge erected after a decree of Napoleon in 1807. Its construction was difficult because of the width of the river Garonne, floods and tides, as well as financial difficulties, but since its grand opening in 1822, the citizens of Bordeaux are very proud of their elegant bridge. From the stone bridge you can discover the magnificent 18th century architecture of the left bank and understand why the city belongs to UNESCO world heritage.

“Connecting Skin and Science” is an ambitious motto, but if the construction of the stone bridge on a large and sometimes tumultuous river was very challenging two centuries ago, dermatology has also achieved major and sometimes unexpected breakthroughs over the last two decades, and we owe the progresses not only to serendipity but also to good science applied to our favorite organ, skin. One of the pioneers in photodermatology, oncodermatology and dermatosurgery was the first chair and founder of the Bordeaux school of Dermatology, William-Auguste Dubreuilh (1857-1935). We are very honoured to host the 49th meeting of the ESDR in the spirit of our motto, in full accordance with the vision of Dubreuilh one century ago.

Welcome to Bordeaux!
