The “wart” standing at the back of the church will soon be under construction. A municipal project aims to transform the old cure into housing.
Making our campaigns “attractive and innovative” is the objective stated by Laurent Wauquiez who participated at the end of last week in the launch of work to transform the former Alleyrac cure into housing. Serge Villard is a happy mayor. He will finally find the solution to remove the “wart” which stood at the back of the church, near the town hall, the communal lodge and the kindergarten. The beautiful cut stone facade will be preserved, the stones rejoined in the project carried out by the municipality and which has just received financial support from the Region.
The building had been unoccupied for a long time and was in danger of ruin.
Only an attached garage appeared occupied. An elder of the commune remembers that it was once used to shelter the priest's horse. Last June, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region voted for a subsidy of 150,000 euros representing 36.8% of the total cost of renovating the spa, estimated at more than 400,000 euros, almost double the budget of the small community. Europe, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), must intervene to complement regional participation. Laurent Wauquiez speaks of a “derogation”, the two aids not being, in theory, cumulative.
The renovation should make it possible to transform the old rectory into two F2 type rental apartments with essential functions with accessibility for people with reduced mobility and good insulation conditions. The companies have been chosen. From now on, Serge Villard wants to launch the project as soon as possible. He plans a year of work. Laurent Wauquiez assures: “It is essential that each village can offer quality housing, accessible and integrated into the heritage fabric”.

For the former regional president, rural towns must meet the aspirations of the population who wish to come and live there by offering as many amenities as large metropolises. It is not the councilors of the sector attending in large numbers last Saturday at the launch of the Alleyrac construction site who will say the opposite, even if several of them do not hide their concern about the consequences of the latest floods like the mayor of Vastres, Jean-Luc Chambon. The meeting to discuss the revitalization of the Alleyrac center had also been delayed to allow an initial assessment of the damage in recent days in Mézenc-Loire-Meygal.
