French Towns And Lands Of Art And History
Since 1985, the French Ministry of Culture and Communication has pursued a policy of preserving and promoting France's heritage. Historic towns and districts have been designated ''Villes et Pays d'Art et d'Histoire'' ("Towns and Lands of Art and History"). The Ministry provides financial and technical support to regions and groups for architectural and heritage undertakings. The Ministry imposes an obligation on beneficiaries to receive workers it has deemed qualified to participate in projects. The national council of towns and districts of art and history (''Le conseil national des Villes et Pays d'Art et d'Histoire''), set up in 1995, participates in the development and general policy of the network. It advises on the eligibility of towns and districts for the ''Lands of Art and History'' designation, and effects withdrawal of support from landmarks where standards slip. Policies of the network are put into effect by the regional directorates of arts and culture (''Direction r ...

The (English: 'Competition of cities and villages in Bloom') is a contest organised annually in France which aims to encourage communes to adopt and implement policies that improve the quality of life of their inhabitants and enhance their attractiveness to visitors through the provision and maintenance of green spaces and the enhancement of their natural environments. Successful communes are awarded the right to display a badge (showing from one to four flowers) on road signs and in other local promotional material.
