Renovating the heritage of a municipality is often faced with financial difficulties. The association for the preservation and promotion of Orval heritage (ASVPO), in Orval-sur-Sienne (Manche), with its fifty members, is doing everything to join forces with the town hall and contribute its contribution. To this end, the year 2025 will be marked by several events.
The president of the ASVPO, Henri Barbarin, announces the first major event on Saturday April 26, 2025. “We are organizing a gospel concert in the Montchaton church, with the Batika choir, followed by an African meal in the village hall. A great moment ahead! » In addition, this event should correspond with the launch of renovation work on the religious building.
