The missions of the Park


What is a regional natural Park?

A regional natural Park is a fragile rural area (threatened either with devitalisation, excessive urban pressure or excessive tourism), with a remarkable heritage, organised around a project designed to ensure its permanent protection with respect to its management, and its economic and social development.

A regional natural Park aims to protect and stimulate the natural, cultural and human heritage of the area within its limits, in order to build up its future. Its missions are to protect its heritage, to implement economic and social development, to welcome and inform the public and to carry out experiments.
