Study of the preservation and enhancement of Loir-et-Cher landscapes

These two local territories are within the bounds of the Loire Valley area listed by UNESCO. The Mission Val de Loire had the opportunity of presenting the challenges of maintaining the quality of the territory and of conducting a countryside survey on some pilot sites. When the management plan was drawn up, a rapid risk of commoditization of the landscapes was identified in respect of this Pays de la Loire sector, resulting in the following study being ordered.
