Patricia Pelloux, Deputy Director General of Apur will speak on "Is Paris ready to welcome the world?"
The Paris historique association has been serving the preservation of Parisian heritage for 60 years! In the early 1960s, she first became concerned about ancient heritage by participating in saving the Marais district through the Marais Festival. Sixty years later, it retains its safeguarding and development missions, extended to the entire capital, but it adds a reflection on its future, its heritage and its influence, in a context of adaptation and fight against climate change.
