For the fourth edition of the Heritage Loto, the 100 departmental sites selected for 2021 will receive an allocation of 18.7 million euros.
In a press release published on Monday, December 20, the Heritage Foundation (FdP) announces that the endowment will be distributed among the 100 sites selected. As every year, the allocations allocated to the latter, whether they are metropolitan or overseas, may not exceed 300,000 euros.
Only 27 emblematic monuments among which the Maison-workshop of Jean Lurçat of the villa Seurat in Paris (75), the Church of Notre-Dame des Fontaines in the Côtes d’Armor (22), the Château de Thol in the Ain ( 01), the Fort des Rousses in the Jura (39) or the Former Saint-François d’Assise convent in Haute-Corse (2B), will receive this maximum amount.
The first Loto du patrimoine draw in 2018
The main mission of the Heritage Foundation, which has existed since 1996, is to work for the protection of small heritage in France, those that are not protected as historical monuments.
In 2017, the Foundation was entrusted with the management of revenues collected from the Heritage Loto, which must finance the restoration of endangered sites identified as priorities by the mission led by Stéphane Bern.
Since the first draw for the Heritage Loto in 2018, “627 sites, including 72 emblematic regional heritage projects and 555 network sites, have benefited from the Heritage Mission and more than half have already been saved or the point of being: 191 projects are underway and 145 have been completed. “
