Reception of a delegation from Mont-Saint-Michel

Mont Saint Michel and its bay were inscribed as a cultural property in 1979. Its management plan is in the process of being drawn up in parallel with revision of the PLUs and SCOTs concerned, and has revealed contrasting visions on the part of local government officials and the State. 

At the State’s request, the Association of French World Heritage Properties (ABFPM) and the Great Sites of France Network (RGSF) organised an experience-sharing day in September 2015, held at Mont-Saint-Michel. Representatives of other cultural landscapes – Nord-Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin, the Loire Valley and Cap Gris Nez-Cap Blanc Nez – gave presentations of the governance and tools implemented on their sites to some sixty local government officials. 

The visit to the Loire Valley provided an opportunity to go into greater detail in discussions with Mission Val de Loire, municipal councillors and project exécutives.
