A real estate project even disturbs it in the small town of Cabrieres d’Avignon. That of the transformation of the Château de Cabrières into a five-star hotel. An ambition that worries some residents who then have created an associationAGDEC, for “Acting to defend the environment of Cabrières-d’Avignon” and received a petition.
“A private interest, but nuisance for the public”
They denounce the creation of a two-lane road of about 600 meters long, near the ZNIEF 2 protection zone in the Luberon Park. A new road axis which would cross a field and a hiking path, contributing to soil artificialization.
Another argument: water management. The hotel, its fifty bedrooms and bathrooms, its two swimming pools and its SPA, leading to an increase in water consumption. A precious resource in the Vauclusesubject this summer to severe droughts and restrictions.
Beyond the environmental cause, AGDEC members favorable protect “quality of life” and the “tranquility” of their village. “We are not against the renovation of historical monuments, but not at any price. People who come to the hotel or to the gourmet restaurant will eat elsewhere, but on the other hand, we will have the nuisances. A private interest, but nuisance for the public”, explained at the microphone of France Blue Vaucluse Marie-France Ramonsecretary of the association.
This Thursday, December 29, 2022, petition received 2,147 signatories. It is available on myopinions.com.
