On June 13, 2024, the inauguration by the Les Bruyères, Soliha Centre-Val de Loire and Agévie associations of La Maison Courteline, allowed guests and neighbors to finally discover a project which required eight years of development and then work before to unfold itself.
In a superb setting, the rehabilitation of this old building located in a remarkable heritage site (SPR) allows the opening of inclusive housing and day care for the elderly. Maison Courteline (managed by Agévie) which has offices there, is now part of the district, with an entrance at the back of the nursing home of the same name (managed by the Les Bruyères association). As for the wooded and enclosed park, it opens onto the two structures, the smell of the old lime trees spreading throughout the surroundings on this inauguration morning.
