The Chinon, Vienne and Loire Community of Municipalities wants to find new momentum for Seuilly abbey, a community facility right in the heart of the La Rabelaisie project. The call for expression of interest is a consultation procedure for project leaders. The aim of the operation is to enable stakeholders interested in setting up a project on this site, to come up with and promote their proposals, which if possible should be innovative either in terms of developing built heritage for tourism or cultural purposes, or in the field of education.

Its objective is to develop proposals, ideas or concepts which will then be able to inspire methods of intervention, with the choice of a project being able to be set up there long term and a future delegated management method for Seuilly abbey.

Interested organisations and individuals are invited to send the Community of Municipalities an application proposing the initiative by 15 June 2017.
