This signature includes both a renewal and an extension of the label on the thirty-four municipalities that constitute the agglomeration community Grand Auch Cœur de Gascogne. The success of this dual approach is linked to the remarkable heritage of the territory and the commitment of elected officials and cultural actors to enhance it.
The label «Cities and countries of art and history»
Created in 1985, the label «City and Country of Art and History» is awarded by the Ministry of Culture, after the opinion of the National Council of Cities and Country of Art and History, to the communes or groups of communes which, aware of the stakes involved in the appropriation of their architecture and heritage by the inhabitants, engage in an active approach of knowledge, conservation, mediation and support for the architectural quality and living environment.
Throughout the national territory in mainland France and overseas, 205 cities and countries can claim this label: 124 Cities of art and history and 81 Countries of art and history.
The Occitanie region has 29 cities and countries labeled "Cities and Countries of art and history": 15 Cities of art and history and 14 Countries of art and history.
