The reception held for the bank delegation.

A small ceremony at the BA Antiquities Museum was held on Thursday, 7 December 2006, to present the restoration process of a mosaic piece found at the BA site during the construction stage. In 1998, BNP Paribas funded the restoration process carried out by L'Atelier de Restauration du Musée de l'Arles et de la Provence Antiques and le Centre d'Etudes Alexandrines (CEA).
