Cultural visit: discovering the Constitutional Council

The UCO Alumni Network invites you to an exceptional visit of the Constitutional Council, on Wednesday December 3, 2025, from 2.45pm to 5.00pm, in Paris.

A key institution of the Fifth Republic, the Constitutional Council ensures that the Constitution is respected, that elections run smoothly and that fundamental rights and freedoms are protected.

This visit will take on special significance for our community as the Université catholique de l'Ouest celebrates its 150th anniversary: Victor Chatenay, who graduated with a law degree from UCO in 1909, was one of the nine members of the Constitutional Council, appointed in 1959 by the President of the National Assembly.

On the program:

• Discover the Council's emblematic premises, housed in the Montpensier wing of the Palais Royal.

• Explanation of the institution's missions, history and operations

• Meet and exchange with UCO alumni in the privileged setting of the Constitutional Council, located in the Montpensier wing of the Palais-Royal.
