Presentation

As part of its commitment to preserving and enhancing its vernacular heritage, the municipality of Maussane-les-Alpilles has initiated a collaboration with the association ACTA VISTA. Renowned for its expertise in the restoration of historic built heritage and its strong commitment to professional integration, ACTA VISTA will work on 18 elements of the town’s small-scale heritage, as well as on the grand Napoleon III washhouse.

This project reflects a dual ambition: safeguarding the local cultural and architectural identity, and passing on traditional craftsmanship. In line with its social mission, ACTA VISTA will mobilize a team of employees on an integration pathway, who will be trained in traditional building trades while actively contributing to the promotion of the region. A concrete way to combine heritage excellence and civic commitment, by helping people return to employment through the transmission of skills, applied directly to exceptional monuments.
