Reports of the days organized by the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
Parks and gardens are one of the great heritage treasures of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs/Regional Conservation of Historic Monuments (DRAC-CRMH) contributes to their recognition and preservation through protection measures for historic monuments, management plan studies, restoration works or «remarkable garden» label, as part of the policy implemented by the Ministry of Culture.
