"Rendez-vous
aux troglos" in 2009
The CATP, an association seeking to add value to cave-dwelling heritage,
wants to organise a popular events programme based on the troglodyte
phenomenon, the first instalment of which will take place on
6 and 7 June 2009. The principle of these “Rendez-vous
aux troglos” is, over the course of a weekend, to open cave
sites up to the public, whether the sites are public or private,
and whether or not they are usually open to the public. The aim
is to demonstrate a representative selection of forms, functions
and usages associated, in the past and present, with cave-dwelling:
habitats (primary or secondary), wine cellars, mushroom beds, storage
sites, chapels, museums, farms, gîtes, restaurants, meeting
rooms, pigeon lofts, workshops, and so on. In this first edition,
the sites will be spread over the Maine-et-Loire and Indre-et-Loire
départements and mainly located along the Loire and its tributaries.

2008 Update: In the Val de Loire
In the last week of May 2008, the second edition of the Seminar
on preventive conservation and monitoring of the architectural heritage

a joint collaboration between RLICC and Mission Val de Loire. This
year’s seminar focused on the relation between heritage and
its environment, thus it was structured in four topics: interaction
between the environment and the architectural heritage, floods and
heritage, preventing deterioration of materials in heritage structures,
comparative study of preventive architectural conservation systems.
