Territories labeled “City and Country of Art and History”

The label “City and Country of Art and History” describes territories that, aware of the stakes represented by the appropriation of their architecture and heritage by the inhabitants, engage in an active approach of knowledge, conservation, mediation and support to architectural quality and the living environment. The label is awarded by the Ministry of Culture on the advice of the National Council of Cities and Countries of Art and History. Four main criteria prevail over the award of the label: * a real political commitment of the candidate communities to make culture, architecture and heritage a local development project; * a relevant perimeter defined on the basis of criteria of historical, geographical, demographic and cultural coherence; * the means employed by the community to ensure the knowledge, conservation, protection and valorisation of the landscape, architecture and heritage as well as the ability to respect over time the commitments related to the award of the label in material, financial and human terms; * the explicit declination of the project in local policies carried out by the communities. For each territory, the following shall be mentioned: * the siren code, * the wikidata identifier, * the name and type of institution or community, * geographic data (point and perimeter), * the website, * Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram accounts, * Wikipedia page. This dataset is based on the [data from the Ministry of Culture](https://www.culture.gouv.fr/Aides-demarches/Protections-labels-et-appellations/Label-Ville-et-Pays-d-art-et-d-histoire “Ministry of Culture data \(new window\)”) updated in June 2019.
