THE ASSOCIATION - ABOUT US

Plus beau village de France parc national du luberon Blason de Ménerbes

The Luberon village of Ménerbes is one of France's “most beautiful villages”, offering visitors a unique character and authenticity.
Many famous personalities and artists have taken up residence here, and visitors from all over the world flock here to soak up the spirit of the place.
The village is constantly evolving, being built, rebuilt and renovated, and its preservation is the responsibility of each and every one of us, especially the mayor.

However, the evolution of construction techniques and the concern for economic profitability sometimes force us to make choices that are incompatible with this preservation.

The association set up in 2013 to oppose the construction project below the washhouse was successful.
In 2025, it was victorious on two counts before the administrative court (Maison du Patrimoine case) and the Conseil d'Etat (Crédit Agricole case), see “Actions en cours”.

Maintaining this associative structure, which brings together among its members diverse skills in town planning, law and the arts and crafts, is necessary in order to :


     Keep abreast of public and private projects
     Anticipate and dialogue with the municipal team
     Use legal means when necessary
     Raise owners' awareness and ensure compliance with regulations.


In short, the dialogue, the exchange of ideas and the combination of individual skills makes it possible to work collectively to combine aesthetics, architecture, history and economics.

Thank you to all our members for their loyal and friendly support.

Président
