Toulouse. Port de l’Embouchure loses its status as a remarkable site
Port de l’Embouchure in Toulouse has lost its status as a remarkable heritage site because of its state of degradation deemed “irreversible”.
The information went unnoticed. A ministerial decree dated May 5 and published in the Official Journal announces that the Port de l’Embouchure, in Toulouse, loses its status as a remarkable heritage site. This decision is “justified by their state of irreversible degradation” of the site and is based on article L. 341-1-2 (2°) of the environmental code.
” The decree concerns degraded and non-restorable sites who have lost the characteristics that justified their registration, and consequently the objective of protection which prevailed during their registration can no longer be achieved”, indicates the decree signed by Jean Castex, who has not been in office since 16 May.
In Toulouse, the port of the Embouchure is not the only one concerned
Remarkable heritage sites are “towns, villages or neighborhoods whose conservation, restoration, rehabilitation or present enhancement, from a historical, architectural, archaeological, artistic or landscape point of view, a public interest “, as reminded the ministry of culture.
As a reminder, the port of the Mouth has enjoyed the status of remarkable heritage site since June 29, 1951. But it’s not the only site to be delisted. In the Pink City, the Pont des Etats over the Touch, remains of the windmill and their surroundings, also lost the status it had held since December 11, 1942.
Also, in the town of Gragnague, twenty minutes from Toulouse, the squares of the Town Hall and the Church with their vegetation present the same fate, again due to a state of irreversible degradation. They had the status of remarkable heritage site since September 6, 1943.
