This round table presents the points of view of different actors sharing the same ambition: to bring heritage sites to life. Sites & Cités remarquables de France, Le Centre des Monuments Nationaux, Cultival and Michaël Canitrot bring their own solutions to create new experiences, on site or off-site. This discussion will be an opportunity to highlight different visions on how to reinvent visits to heritage sites.
Speakers:
- Thibault Manchon , President of Cultival
In 2000, Thibault Manchon combined his entrepreneurial spirit with his passion by creating Cultival “Visit differently”, an agency specializing in the development of exclusive cultural projects and the promotion of French heritage. It is in this same desire to see French heritage shine on an international scale that Cultival made the bold choice to produce and operate immersive experiences in heritage sites, such as AURA INVALIDES, which is performed in the evening in the heart of the Dôme des Invalides.
- Abla Benmiloud-Faucher , Director of Digital and Innovation at CMN
- Michaël Canitrot , DJ-Producer and creator of the Monumental Tour
Passionate about history, architecture and ambassador of electronic culture, Michaël Canitrot created the Monumental Tour, a tour concept combining Electronic Music, Heritage and Digital Art, under the patronage of the French National Commission for UNESCO. An opportunity to create a dialogue between the past and the future, to rediscover our monuments from a new angle, the Monumental Tour is an experience that also aims to give meaning to the celebration by attracting new audiences to these historical sites and raising their awareness of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
- Sébastien Zonghero , Vice-President of Remarkable Sites & Cities
Moderated by:
- Gilles Duffau , Investment Director, responsible for e-culture and heritage projects at the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations
After several years in the sector of organizational and information systems consulting where he worked in particular for Cegetel, SFR, EDF, Ricoh, Bouygues Telecom, Gilles Duffau joined the cultural sector, successively at the Cinémathèque française, as Director of New Media, and at the Centre Pompidou as head of the multimedia department. He is interested in digital technology and innovation for all dimensions of culture and heritage (conservation, dissemination, mediation, etc.). He is currently working on the Future Investment Program “Culture, Heritage and Digital” at the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations.
