Mission Val de Loire

The Joint Committee, meeting on 10 December 2007, appointed François Bonneau, president of the Centre region, to succeed Jean Claude Antonini as the president of the cross-regional Mission Val de Loire. Jacques Auxiette, president of the Pays de la Loire region, will serve as vice-president.

When the Mission was created in 2002, the Pays de la Loire and Centre regions agreed on a revolving presidency that would alternate between the two regions every three years. During the last three years, Jean-Claude Antonini has driven through a strong programme aimed at promoting the Val de Loire's inclusion on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites, in particular with regard to tourism and opening the region up more fully in international terms.
