A precious lifeline for Serre de la Madone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The French TV personality St\u00e9phane Bern heads a mission focused on preserving fragile French heritage in all its diversity. The mission is a part of the Fondation du Patrimoine, supported by the Ministry of Culture and FDJ United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From over 700 submissions for 2025, the mission chose 18 sites to support, one of them being Serre de la Madone, the only garden selected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our preservation project was named \u201cEmblematic Project of 2025\u201d for the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d’Azur region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this support, we will be able to continue passing on the exceptional legacy of this living heritage, while strengthening its role as a place of history, biodiversity, and culture<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
