Through the latter, the State undertakes to financially support the creation of a position of facilitator of the heritage; the municipality specifies the actions it intends to undertake with the help of the State for a dynamic policy of pedagogy and dissemination of its cultural assets.
In this spirit, the city is also committed to setting up a CIAP (Centre d'interprétation de l'architecture et du patrimoine). The Architecture Department is responsible for monitoring these files and their funding on behalf of the DRAC.
