On 2 and 3 July 2026, Minister Catherine Vautrin will travel to the Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alps region. She will conclude the regional defense correspondents’ assembly in Lyon, give a closing address, and sign a convention with the regional president. The minister will also visit Fabentech in Saint‑Priest, a biopharmaceutical firm that, with ministry support since 2016, gained market approval for the world’s first ricin antidote. Additionally, she will visit the Commandement de la défense aérienne et des opérations (CDAOA) at Lyon‑Mont Verdun, a key center that monitors national airspace and plans missions. Press arrangements for both visits are detailed, with accreditation deadlines set for 15:00 on 2 July.
