A whole range of books have been published over the last few months dealing with questions of heritage, whether considered at regional level (new heritages and cultural action), national level (French properties, old neighbourhoods and sustainable development) or international level (accessibility and development).

“Bienvenue chez Vous!”

This book by Anne Gonon helps readers understand how Culture O Centre and its Excentrique festival are contributing to the emergence of new types of artistic and cultural projects rooted in the territories that nurture them and based on a shared workload.

“Les Nouveaux Patrimoines en Pays de la Loire”

Richly illustrated and provided with a wealth of hitherto unpublished maps, this work examines the significance of the growing importance of “new heritages”. Helping foster respect for cultural diversity and promoting human creativity, they also have a not inconsiderable economic aspect. The book focuses on Pays de la Loire, bringing together some fifty contributors, including academics and professionals in the fields of heritage, tourism and cultural mediation. 

With the support of the Pays de la Loire Region.

“Quartiers Anciens, Quartiers Durables”

After two years of work among the network’s towns, the ANVPAH & VSSP and the Caisse des Dépôts have just issued this guide, published in partnership with the Ministry of Ecology and the ADEME, and the support of the CAPEB and the Association of French Mayors. 

This awareness-raising tool aims to encourage local authorities, of whatever size and with whatever means at their disposal, to take action to make old neighbourhoods attractive, respectful of the environment and forward-looking.

Publication of 8 PDD factsheets

The “Paysage et Développement Durable” (Landscape and Sustainable Development) research programme overseen by the Ministry of Ecology encourages deliberation on the sustainability of landscape development processes with a view to clarifying public action. Based on the results of research projects completed in 2011, the present state of knowledge is now available in the form of eight factsheets for the use of operational actors.

“Patrimoines et Accessibilité”

How do you make Europe’s towns, monuments and protected sites accessible to everyone? 

This work presents the proceedings of the colloquium on the subject held in Paris by ICOMOS France in March 2013.

“Heritage, a Motor of Development: issues and projects”

This bilingual (French / English) work presents the results of the 17th General Assembly of ICOMOS Symposium, organised in Paris by ICOMOS France in 2011. It sets out to be a tool for approaching heritage as a motor of development, through the four sub-themes selected for the international symposium: heritage and territorial development, development and return to the art of building, tourism and development, and development and economics.
