A biannual national competition rewarding the most beautiful landscaping in France, the Victoires du Paysage formalized their 2024 prize list in a press release issued on Monday December 16, five days after the ceremony organized in Paris. For this ninth edition, still hosted by Valhor, a professional technical jury selected 74 candidates during the previous month of June, before visiting their projects until the end of September.
In the “Company – Head offices or places of economic activity” category, IMA is adorned with silver: the Inter Mutuelles Assistance group is awarded for “requalification” of its head office in Niort, more precisely thanks to its outdoor spaces which “offer more uses for employees.” It was the Oasis garden at the Martinez Hyatt Hotel in Cannes that stood out in this group.
Two other projects in New Aquitaine
Valhor is the French inter-professional association for horticulture, floristry and landscaping: it accompanies and supports professionals in the horticultural sector. Since 2008, 467 projects have been nominated for the Landscape Victoires: 640 professionals recognized, 289 project owners awarded and 196 local authorities or mixed economy companies awarded.
In this year 2024, two other projects in Nouvelle-Aquitaine were decorated, out of a total of 44 awards, in the “Neighborhood development” category: in Pau, the Noulibos park, with the Gardens of the Zaragoza district, is in silver in the subcategory “Social housing district, neighborhood requalification”; when the Grand-Parc park, in Bordeaux, is in bronze in the “New district or eco-district” subcategory.
