Events and heritage conservation

Everyone agrees that the wealth of our heritage is exceptional. This observation is even a pleonasm; the only fact of having a heritage being a wealth in itself.

Not all nations are fortunate enough to have as many cultural sites listed by UNESCO as France, and that's without counting all the other sites listed by the historical monuments (about 44,000).

Last year alone, the Nuits de Fourvière in Lyon attracted more than 192,000 spectators around artists like Sting or Tears for Fears. And what about Orange or Vienna.

Whatever its size or vocation, any company can thus proudly associate its raison d'être with the preservation of heritage. Moreover, by integrating a cultural component to the events, their organizers share an intangible value with the participants who can only be delighted to come away enriched by such an experience.
