On November 16th 1972, UNESCO's General Conference adopted the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. For over 40 years, UNESCO's World Heritage Centre has striven to protect the world's most valuable natural and cultural wonders while encouraging the development of the countries in which they reside. The World Heritage Centre currently protects over 900 historic sites in 157 countries and works towards the preservation of world customs and languages.

World Heritage sites are chosen based on their outstanding universal value and their contributions to the cultural and natural heritage of their home country and our world. Sites considered to be within the realm of cultural heritage include sites of noteworthy aesthetic, archaeological, ethnological or anthropological value. Sites considered to be of the world's natural heritage possess outstanding physical, biological or geological value and often include the natural habitats of threatened or endangered species. The efforts of the World Heritage Centre help to protect the architecture and biodiversity of these historic sites to preserve them for future generations.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialized agency seeking to establish intercultural dialogue in order to build a worldwide culture of peace, prosperity and sustainable development. The organization pursues its mission through the use of education, natural sciences, social and human sciences, culture, communication and information. With its 195 member states, UNESCO coordinates with the international community to implement programs and initiatives in order to accomplish its world goals.

20 Mont-Saint-Michel and its Bay

Built between the 11th and 16th centuries, the abbey is a technical and artistic tour de force, successfully adapted to the natural challenges of its unique location. Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks, the abbey is exposed to the powerful tides between Normandy and Britany. Known as the “Wonder of the West,” this Gothic-style Benedictine abbey stands as a dedication to the archangel St. Michael and the village that developed in the shadow of its great walls.

Chartres Cathedral

Partly built starting in 1145, and then reconstructed over a 26-year period after the fire of 1194, Chartres Cathedral marks the high point of French Gothic art. Initial construction began in 1145 and a 26-year period of reconstruction followed the fire of 1194. The pure ogival style of the vast nave, the porches adorned with fine sculptures from the middle of the 12th century and the magnificent 12th and 13th century stained-glass windows, all remain in remarkable condition and combine to make the cathedral a masterpiece.

Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay

This stark Burgundian monastery was founded by St. Bernard in 1119. With its church, cloister, refectory, sleeping quarters, bakery and ironworks, it is an excellent illustration of the ideal of self-sufficiency as practiced by the earliest communities of Cistercian monks.

Palace and Park of Fontainebleau

Used by the kings of France in the 12th century, the medieval royal hunting lodge of Fontainebleau stands at the heart of a vast forest in the Ile-de-France. It was transformed, enlarged and embellished in the 16th century by François I, who wanted to make a “New Rome” of it. Surrounded by an immense park, the Italianate palace combines Renaissance and French artistic traditions.

Roman Theatre and its Surroundings and the "Triumphal Arch" of Orange

Situated in the Rhone valley, the ancient theater of Orange, with its 103-meter-long facade, is one of the best preserved of all the great Roman theaters. Built between A.D. 10 and 25, the Roman arch is one of the most beautiful and interesting surviving examples of a provincial triumphal arch from the reign of Augustus. It is decorated with low reliefs and commemorates the establishment of the Pax Romana.

Prehistoric Sites and Decorated Caves of the Vézère Valley

The Vézère Valley contains 147 prehistoric sites dating back to the Palaeolithic Period and 25 decorated caves. The cave paintings within the site make it particularly interesting from ethnological, anthropological, and aesthetic points of view. The discovery of the Lascaux Cave in 1940 was highly important for the history of prehistoric art. The hunting scenes in the cave paintings show some 100 animal figures, which are remarkable for their detail, rich colors and lifelike quality.

Vézelay, Church and Hill

Shortly after its foundation in the 9th century, the Benedictine abbey of Vézelay acquired the relics of St. Mary Magdalene and remains an important place of pilgrimage. St. Bernard preached the Second Crusade at Vézelay in 1146 while Richard the Lion-Hearted and Philip II Augustus met there to leave for the Third Crusade in 1190. With its sculpted capitals and portal, the Madeleine of Vézelay – a 12th century monastic church – is a masterpiece of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture.

Amiens Cathedral

Amiens Cathedral, in the heart of Picardy, is one of the largest “classic” Gothic churches of the 13th century. It is notable for the coherence of its plan, the beauty of its three-tier interior elevation and the particularly fine display of sculptures on the principal facade and in the south transept.

Arles, Roman and Romanesque Monuments

Arles is a good example of the adaptation of an ancient city to medieval European civilization. The city has several impressive Roman monuments. The earliest of these monuments – the arena, the Roman theater and the cryptoporticus (subterranean galleries) – date back to the 1st century B.C. During the 4th century, Arles experienced a second golden age, as attested by the baths of Constantine and the necropolis of Alyscamps. In the 11th and 12th centuries, Arles once again became one of the most attractive cities in the Mediterranean. Within the city walls, Saint-Trophime, with its cloister, is one of Provence's major Romanesque monuments.

Palace and Park of Versailles

The Palace of Versailles was the principal residence of the French kings from the time of Louis XIV to Louis XVI. Embellished by several generations of architects, sculptors, decorators and landscape architects, the palace provided Europe with a model of the ideal royal residence for over a century.

From the Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains to the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, the Production of Open-pan Salt

The Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, near Besançon, was built by Claude Nicolas Ledoux. Its construction, begun in 1775 during the reign of Louis XVI, was the first major achievement of industrial architecture, reflecting the ideal of progress of the Enlightenment. The vast, semicircular complex was designed to permit a rational and hierarchical organization of work and was to have been followed by the building of an ideal city, a project that was never realized.The Great Saltworks of Salins-les-Bains was active for at least 1200 years until stopping activity in 1962. From 1780 to 1895, its salt water travelled through 21 km of wood pipes to the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans. It was built near the immense Chaux Forest to ensure its supply of wood for fuel. The Saltworks of Salins shelters an underground gallery from the 13th century including a hydraulic pump from the 19th century that still functions. The boiler house demonstrates the difficulty of the saltworkers’ labour to collect the “White Gold”.

Abbey Church of Saint-Savin sur Gartempe

Known as the “Romanesque Sistine Chapel,” the Abbey-Church of Saint-Savin contains many beautiful 11th and 12th century murals, which are still in a remarkable state of preservation.

Gulf of Porto: Calanche of Piana, Gulf of Girolata, Scandola Reserve

The nature reserve, which is part of the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, occupies the impressive, porphyritic rock mass known as the Scandola peninsula. The vegetation is an outstanding example of scrubland. Seagulls, cormorants and sea eagles can be found there. The clear waters, with their islets and inaccessible caves, host rich marine life.
