The Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur throws(launches) every year since 2017 a call for projects for restoration(catering) and promotion(valuation) of protected rural heritage. The aimed operators are first and foremost communities, municipalities especially, which benefit from important rates of subsidy: up to 50 % for municipalities and links between local authorities of less than 10 000 inhabitants. Associations, foundations, individuals, public agencies are also eligible.
The call for project is led in partnership with Heritage foundation which assures(insures) a relay of information and of advice(council) on the ground, in particular to municipalities for which she sets public subscriptions up to the advantage of chosen projects.
A technical committee compound(made up) of experts shortlists the best projects which are then proposed in the votes of the regional elected representatives. Projects have to contain inevitably two sections(shutters): a working section(shutter) of restoration(catering) and a section(shutter) of promotion(valuation) to the public. Architectural projects have to respect the patrimonial integrity of works and use materials and techniques of restoration(catering) corresponding to home states. Sections(Shutters) promotion(valuation) have to contain a pedagogic dimension(size) towards the school.
Objective is to sensitise the citizens and the owners, in particular municipalities, in the future of this heritage the first interest of which monumental character is not but that is clearly identified on the other hand as the common good by the populations the working tool and the executive of the everyday life of which it established(constituted) during generations at once. Often only equipment that can establish(constitute) a fulcrum(support) in an economic and social revitalisation, its promotion(valuation) is of double interest to preserve landscapes and to assure(insure) a market to the local companies preservation of which is a stake for the rural zones.
