The Charter assures(insures) for 3 years, in connection with the Abbey of Escaladieu, the representation of the European certified, Cistercian Road of abbeys in conformance with the cultural routes of the Council of Europe since June, 2010. This label so allowed the Charter to develop a certain legibility with the international institutions, in particular the Council of Europe and the European Commission, within the framework of European events (Lounge(Show) of the Heritage(Holdings), ” crossroads of Europe “, European Day of the Tourism), but also to participate in the exchanges organized by the Council of Europe with the 29 certified European cultural routes (annual Forum of the cultural routes, summer school). October 11th, 2013, abbey of Clairefontaine was so able to participate in a meeting organized in Luxembourg to develop the cross-border partnerships within the framework of the Big Region (CERTESS program financed by the European Commission). The abbey of Aulps integrated the logo “cultural route of the Council of Europe” into its road signalling system.
You can download the new logo and the graphics standards of the Council of Europe on the dedicated site.
