Heritage at risk of flooding: protected sites, safeguarded heritage

The Établissement public Loire is putting on an exhibition for the general public entitled "Heritage at risk of flooding: protected sites, safeguarded heritage". Comprising 8 panels, this sheds light on the high risks to which the remarkable heritage of the Loire basin and its tributaries are exposed.

At the same time, it presents various initiatives being taken to reduce its vulnerability, around the basin as well as elsewhere in France and Europe. These are all practical contributions to protecting these tangible and intangible properties from the flooding risk. 

This work has been conducted within the context of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. The aim of this European Year is to encourage as many people as possible to find out about and appreciate Europe's cultural heritage, a key driver in strengthening the sense of belonging to a common European space.
