A delegation from the Upper Middle-Rhine Valley, which has been included on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites since 2002, visited the Val de Loire between 29 September and 3 October.
After a welcome in Amboise, acknowledging the town's twinning
arrangement with the
town of
Boppard, and in Chambord by Mrs Colleu-Dumont, the delegation,
led by Mr Heino Rönneper, President of the
Middle
Rhine Valley – UNESCO Club and made up of 15 people –
mostly elected representatives from the municipalities in the
listed site – was welcomed to the Val de Loire Mission by its
Director, Dominique Tremblay.
The visit provided an opportunity to share ideas on the
respective management systems of the two World Heritage sites and
was followed by a convivial lunch, during which the team from the
Mission and the members of the delegation were able to get to know
each other better. Mr Rönneper and the other guests then had
the chance to explore the town of Tours during a guided tour
organised by the tourist office and later the Loire itself, on a
trip on the barges of the Boutavant association.
