An overview of some of the associations that bring our local cultural heritage to life
Sauvegarde du Patrimoine du Lycée Gabriel Faure
The association's dream since 2002 has been to see the rich heritage of the Gabriel-Faure High School in Tournon-sur-Rhône (Ardèche, France) not only preserved but also enhanced and beautified.
The program is extensive:
– Welcoming visitors to the school
– Inventorying the contents of the historic library, completed in 2016 after six years of work
– Showcasing the school's old furniture and teaching materials
– Restoring paintings
– Collecting testimonials from former students and staff
– Research assistance – Hosting interns
Collectif des Associations de Patrimoine de la Drôme des Collines
The Collective's goal is to bring together heritage associations in the Drôme des Collines region with the aim of:
- exchanging and communicating with each other
- supporting each other
- developing, where appropriate, joint projects for the preservation and promotion of heritage
At the request of departmental or local authorities, the Collective can serve as an interface with local associations, without ever compromising their independence.
Les amis des orgues et du carillon de Tain Tournon
The association "Friends of the Organs and Carillon of Tain Tournon" organizes "The Musicals of Tain l'Hermitage" every summer. An hour of organ concert on Sundays in July and August from 5 p.m. at the church of Tain l'Hermitage. A moment to discover or re-hear classical works played by talented organists.
« Cercle généalogique de la Drôme des Collines »
The association's main area of influence is the Drôme des Collines (municipalities located north of the Isère River), the neighboring Isère region, and the municipalities of the canton of Bourg de Péage.
Their records currently concern primarily the ancien régime (before civil registration) for all parishes. The 19th century (civil registration) has only just begun for a few municipalities.
The association's logo depicts the official coats of arms of the towns of Romans and Bourg de Péage, joined together, encircled by a chain, two symbols of genealogical mutual assistance.
Musée d'Art Sacré de Mours-Saint-Eusèbe
Housed inside the old Romanesque church, the Mours Saint Eusèbe Museum of Sacred Art presents one of the richest collections of religious objects in France.
The Société Amicale des Ardéchois à Paris was founded in 1890 by Ardèche residents who had settled in Paris.
Today, our association brings together anyone with Ardèche roots or ties to the region. Regardless of religious or political beliefs, it serves as a link between all those who love this department. It currently has several hundred members.
The association seeks to promote the Ardèche region through activities such as: organizing conferences, debates on topics of interest to the Ardèche region, tourist events, and social gatherings in the Paris region and the Ardèche region; providing mutual assistance among its members, particularly to its younger members through the search for internships or housing; providing scholarships to young Ardèche residents through a foundation; and providing any assistance or advice its members may request;
Providing contact with Ardèche businesses and the assistance the association can provide them with in their industrial and commercial endeavors; developing links with other local associations; and, within the association, facilitating themed groups such as the Ardèche Finance Association.
