If you have ever visited a U.S. state capitol, you have likely seen replicas of the Liberty Bell.  But have you noticed that each one bears the inscription "Paccard, Annecy, France"?

To mark the 250th anniversary of the United Sates, and the 230th anniversary of Foundry Paccard, come discover how this family-owned company based near Annecy, came to undertake the Liberty Bell project.  You will hear about several of their other works across the United States that share a direct connection to the French Alps.

Anne Paccard, Marketing and Communications Director at Foundry Paccard, will discuss these topics, primarily in French, during an interview with Charles Coulon, a board member of the Federation
