Operation Grand Site in Cantal

A Grand Site operation is the approach proposed by the State to local and regional authorities in order to respond to the difficulties posed by welcoming visitors and maintaining sites classified as highly known and subject to high traffic. It makes it possible to define and implement a concerted project for the restoration, preservation and development of the territory. It applies to a site classified under Articles L.341-1 to 22 of the Environmental Code (Law of 2 May 1930) faced with a problem of tourist use or maintenance for which management decisions of the site are required. Its purpose is to accompany the territory towards the eventual acquisition of the Grand Site de France label This label “Grand site de France”, owned by the State, has a legal scope since 2010 (Article L. 341-15-1 of the Environmental Code)
