Heritage at risk – Conference at the Château de Lourmarin

Fires, damage, lack of maintenance... Over the past decade, a growing number of incidents have affected France's historic monuments and museums. These events raise a pressing question: are we doing enough to protect our heritage and pass it on to future generations?

In her talk “Heritage at risk”, Maryvonne de Saint-Pulgent examines the challenges facing heritage conservation today. Chronic underfunding, budget priorities, the impact of overtourism and the responsibilities of public authorities are among the issues she will explore, offering insights into the future of France's historic landmarks.

Organised by the Amis de Lourmarin association, this event at the Château de Lourmarin is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of safeguarding our shared cultural heritage – a historical, economic and tourism asset worth preserving for generations to come.
