These measures concern river tourism and the Touraine Gardens. They are certified in the modified budget for 2008 presented to the Indre-et-Loire departmental assembly at the session held on Tuesday 30th September 2008.
To enable an
improved promotion of the Val de Loire's registration as part
of UNESCO's world heritage, the Conseil général
will conduct two flagship projects for Loire identity, that will
take the form of
specific agreements between the Conseil Général and
the Conseil Régional du Centre.
Bring river traffic and the Loire ports
back to life
The CG37 is launching a
programme to de rehabilitate the region's ports over
several years, having already received authorisation for a
€200,000 programme in line with the Modified Budget.
The registration of the necessary
credits will take place in 2009, once the programme
to rehabilitate the facilities and ports is drawn up, as
well as
supporting river-based activities, following the works of
Michel Verdier, in charge of the mission since June to work on
these two aspects.
Enhancing the gardens of
Touraine
Claude
Roiron,
president of the Conseil
général put himself forward to Jean-Louis Sureau,
director of the Royal Château of Amboise, to chair a
« Gardens of Touraine » committee, made up of
elected members and qualified personalities, who will be in charge
of working to
create gardens in sites and monuments in the department as
well as to
put forward actions to improve gardens.
This policy will begin with the
Conseil General's historical properties:
-
completion of a
romantic garden at the Balzac de Saché
museum,
-
development of gardens at the
Grand-Pressigny Pre-historic Museum on the occasion of its
reopening in Spring 2009,
-
and the remodelling of the rose
gardens at theSaint Cosme priority.
The Modified Budget authorised the
2-year €200,000 programme to construct gardens, an
authorisation which will evolve in length and amount as per
discussions with the Conseil Regional of the Centre region and
the projects put forward by the committee. A payment credit
of € 5,000 has already been granted to finance the initial
studies.
