On Friday, October 16, 2026, the University of Limoges hosted the colloquium "Le droit en héritage" (Law as Heritage), organized in homage to Professor Bernard Vareille, former president of the University and former dean of the Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences.
This day, initiated by Gulsen Yildirim, professor of private law at the University of Limoges and executive director of CREOP, saw a strong turnout. Academics, notaries, lawyers, former students, colleagues, and friends of Bernard Vareille gathered, some traveling from afar to express their esteem and recognition.
The colloquium concluded with the official presentation of the "Le droit en héritage" Mélanges. This collective work, published by Lefebvre-Dalloz editions, spans over 800 pages and features nearly sixty scientific contributions.
Coordinated by Gulsen Yildirim, this publication pays tribute to the richness of Bernard Vareille's scientific work, his influence extending far beyond Limoges, and the close ties he always maintained between the academic world and legal professionals.
The presentation of a special copy by Professor Michel Grimaldi, an eminent specialist in family patrimonial law from the University of Paris Assas, was a highlight of the ceremony.
The president of the University of Limoges, present on this occasion, also paid tribute to Bernard Vareille, commending his career and commitment to the institution, particularly during his tenure as president.
