The “Villes et Villages Fleuris” label rewards the commitment of communities to improving the living environment. The Morbihan departmental council has entrusted the mission of beautification to the Morbihan tourism development agency for 64 years. This approach is chaired by Gérard Pierre, vice-president of the department and president of Morbihan Tourisme, and Soizic Perrault, vice-president of the department and president of the departmental jury for the “Cities and villages in bloom” label. This is placed under the sign of quality of life, the preservation of biodiversity and the sustainable management of public spaces. Open to all municipalities, it constitutes a powerful lever to translate concretely, on the ground, the challenges of environmental transitions: differentiated management of public spaces and preservation of biodiversity, economical management of water and resources, mobilization of the public to abandoning the use of pesticides.
The label takes into account the place given to plants in the development of public spaces, the preservation of natural resources and biodiversity, the promotion of botanical heritage, the reconquest of city hearts, tourist attractiveness and the involvement of citizen at the heart of projects.
Beyond this recognition, it allows tailor-made support for municipalities wishing to improve their living environment while preserving the identity of their territory.
Now 126 municipalities are involved in the labeling process, or almost half of the municipalities in Morbihan. This mobilization contributes to strengthening the attractiveness of the department for its residents and visitors. This year, 19 municipalities were visited by members of the departmental jury. Two municipalities won their first flower according to a grid of rigorous criteria: Gueltas and Theix-Noyalo.
To date, 68 municipalities are labeled with 1 to 4 flowers and 58 municipalities are in the process of obtaining 1 flower label. The winners received their distinction during a ceremony organized this Thursday at the Departmental Council.
