A few weeks after Bourges was chosen as the European Capital of Culture 2028, the Minister of Culture announced that she would make rural areas the priority of her action. How do cultural projects contribute to the dissemination of culture and the economic and tourist development of territories? Around this question, this round table brings together several major players who will share their commitments and visions.

Now a manager at Beaux Arts Consulting, she supports the creation of cultural venues, from defining the concept to their operational implementation, through an approach focused on the needs of the territories.
