Sandal Gap And Balance

Because Vézelay worth it!



Nothing yet quantified given the scope of work, but millions of euros are the key to the site of Vezelay and surroundings.

The prefect of the Yonne, Pascal Lelarge, not the traits of Santa Claus. Neither his white beard and thick silhouette, let alone the red suit. Yet, last Thursday at the Town Hall of Vezelay, in a council which was devoted entirely, it could be perceived that way. Not because the year-end party approach, but rather follows the recent visit of the Head of State in Vézelay. On 30 September, President Sarkozy had promised the local government that would provide funds for the preservation of the site (Hill and basil) Vezelay, World Heritage Site by Unesco and yet widely supported financially by the municipality under 500 inhabitants.


Take risks, but safe to say

While not out of his sack a large "Gift" encrypted - but it is rumored that it would be several tens of millions of euros, "I have a suggestion for the renewal of the site of Vezelay" has plainly announced in the preamble Prefect, alongside Senator-Mayor of Vezelay, and the sub-prefect of the district, and municipal councilors and tutti quanti ... In the room, many players on the Vézelien tended an ear, faute de mieux.

addition to a diagnosis of places, we then explained the philosophy of the project, not unlike its urgency. "We must quickly grasp the proposal of the President of the Republic, show that it is operational to conduct the work and do not ask for twenty years of scaffolding on the church! We must have the courage to take risks, but without making mistakes, like Viollet-le-Duc in his time. "


Decisions will be taken to Vézelay Vézelay

To start the operation, we could seek other funding partners: Europe and private foundations. Faced with such financiers weight, the risk would be for local decision makers, being totally dispossessed of the project. But as one senior official insisted "Decisions will be taken to Vézelay Vézelay. Let it come ...

actors of the meeting also stressed the need to move quickly, with a proposal for the contract plan in the coming weeks. But not everything can be done quickly. If emergency interventions are already known to the municipal staff - a large wardrobe in the mayor's office is filled with studies, it was recalled the scenes, improvisation is prohibited. This raises the question of monitoring that may be undertaken. The creation of a scientific committee has been strongly suggested. Then, the management of the renovation project and backup Site Vézelay not built to be mounted without an organization dedicated, a client, something like joint association.

Regardless of the work, hard not to note a desire for efficiency, while putting in place a clear, potential gas plant. In the meantime, the municipal team to shoot a lot of work, fast and well. Because Vézelay worth it!
