Following renewal of municipal and community councils, Mission Val de Loire wished to make special contact with newly elected officials whose local authorities are part of the Loire Valley recognised by UNESCO as being a world heritage site for the outstanding universal value of its landscapes and heritage.

  • Issues involved: reconciling preservation and development
  • Map of the UNESCO site
  • The commitment of the State and local authorities
  • UNESCO recognition
  • Mission Val de Loire
