The Heritage and Innovation Prize rewards especially innovative digital and audiovisual creations on the part of museums, exhibitions, monuments and scientific cultural centres. Professionals from the CLIC France community (Club Innovation & Culture) voted on the winners among the 36 finalist innovations selected in 6 categories.

The virtual tour of the Chauvet Cave, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2014, came out on top in the “Websites and their content” category.

The National Monuments Centre’s video game “The King and the Salamander” took first place in the “Education and youth” category. It invites players to acquaint themselves with 11 national monuments connected with Francis I, including Château d’Angers, Château d’Azay-le-Rideau and Château de Talcy.

No fewer than 4 Loire Valley sites ranked among the finalists in the “Onsite projects” category: Histopad Chambord (Domaine de Chambord), Paint, bringing colour back to the Abbey Church (Royal Abbey of Fontevraud), Nantes 1900 (Château des Ducs de Bretagne – Nantes History Museum), and Au Service du Roy (Saint Louis Foundation).
