The commune would compete to obtain a flower. She had two!
The town of Rennes-le-Château was rewarded during its first participation in the regional competition for towns and villages in bloom.
The visit of the members of the jury took place on July 5, the presentation took place in Nîmes.
This label represents an additional asset for both elected officials and the population of the former capital of Razès, the recognition for several years of work carried out around differentiated management leading to several concrete actions for the preservation of biodiversity.
Indeed, according to the ministerial definition, differentiated management is a management method which consists of practicing appropriate maintenance of green spaces according to their characteristics and uses. In other words, it’s about doing the right maintenance in the right place.
Living environment
The Cities and Villages in Bloom label allows municipalities to support meaningful territorial projects. At the crossroads between living environment, tourism, development and even biodiversity, Villes et Villages Fleuris is the only label that supports municipalities in a transversal manner and has been doing so for 60 years. It rewards municipalities and their actions to improve the living environment of their residents, whether temporary or permanent. The living force of the label, its network of municipalities and experts share practices, advice and unite in a desire to improve the quality of reception in the municipalities of Occitanie.
It is in this sense that this award will also represent for Rennes-le-Château a promotion tool for tourists and present or future residents of Rennes-le-Château.
The municipality has been engaged for several years in a dynamic of improving the living environment through beautification and enhancement of heritage but also landscaping of the heart of the village, an ecological approach with zero phyto and controlled watering.
While the city competed for the label of one flower, the jury awarded the label of two flowers, which makes all the work done even more exciting for elected officials, employees, visitors and the population of Rennes-le- Castle. Congratulations on this deserved recognition.
