It is with deep regret that the EFEO announces the passing of Director of Studies, Pascal Royère, at Toulouse, on Feburary 5, 2014, at the age of 49. Director of the largest restoration workshops of the EFEO at Angkor in recent years, most notably those at the Baphuon and the Western Mebon, Pascal Royère was the recipient of the Grand Prize of the Prince Louis de Polignac Foundation in 2007. In 2011 he was the joint winner of the Grand Prize in Archaeology awarded by the Simone and Cino del Duca Foundation to the team at the EFEO's Siem Reap Center.
A religious ceremony in his memory has been set for Friday, March 7, at 6 p.m., in the Saint-Pierre de Chaillot Church, 31 Avenue Marceau, Paris 16ème.
