► Between
18 and 27 June, four encounters were held
across Pays Dignois. Their purpose was to answer
questions raised by private individuals about their
projects, encourage them to consider renovation
aimed at energy efficiency and put them in touch with
professionals in the sector. Some sixty private
individuals made contact with around a dozen local
craftspeople thanks to the partnership promotion
undertaken by Pays Dignois Regional Council, the Asse
Bléone Verdon Intermunicipal Association, the Alpes de
Haute Provence Chamber of Trades and Crafts, the EIE
and the Digne-les-bains Town Hall.

their
consideration of
energy-efficient
renovation of their homes.
