The aims of the agreement

A programme of action to highlight the heritage and raise awareness in all sectors of the public


Raising the awareness of the inhabitants concerning their environment and promoting high-quality tourismchâteau de l'Hermine

The local inhabitants are the foremost ambassadors for their town or region; thematic tours and conferences are programmed for them, depending on the specific nature and news concerning heritage, urban planning and architectural issues.

Informing young people about architecture, heritage and urban planning

Architecture and heritage educational initiatives are one of the priorities of the agreements. They are coordinated by the heritage organiser and take place throughout the year in a specific place. These workshops are for pupils from both primary and secondary schools, during and outside school term time (school holidays, summer holidays for 6-12 year olds, etc.).

Presenting the town or region

In addition to setting up guided tours, the agreement recommends the creation of an architecture and heritage interpretation centre (CIAP) presenting the history and evolution of the town as well as current development projects in an interesting and motivational way.

It also encourages the creation of information documents and promotional material that is compatible with the graphic design that identifies the network throughout France.
