Sisteron wins the prestigious Grand Prix de l’Habitat 2024

Sisteron, a charming town nestled in the heart of the Alpes de Haute-Provence, has recently made its mark by winning the Grand Jury Prize at the 2024 Regional Habitat Awards. This prestigious award celebrates a rehabilitation project that transforms the old town center. By combining innovation in the creation of housing, respect for environmental challenges, and energy efficiency, Sisteron establishes itself as a model to follow. The award ceremony took place in the exhilarating setting of the Galerie de l’Horloge in Marseille, quite the spectacle to behold!

The challenges of the rehabilitation project

The project that allowed Sisteron to ascend to the Habitat podium is not merely a simple real estate operation. It is a genuine challenge posed to the city to modernize its historic center while preserving its authentic charm. It consists of housing adapted to current needs while ensuring the cultural identity of Sisteron is maintained. Compliance with energy standards is at the heart of this initiative, transforming buildings of yesterday into eco-responsible homes, all without sacrificing local heritage.

A tribute to Catherine Flachère

The success of this rehabilitation would not be as striking without the unwavering contribution of Catherine Flachère. This lady seems straight out of a fairy tale; she is the queen of urban transformation in Sisteron. Her vision and commitment, which have endured for twenty years, were validated by the ceremony. The applause for her work reverberated through the walls of the Prefecture!

A distinction that brings everyone together

The Regional Habitat Awards do not only reward a project. They celebrate the collective effort of an entire city, bringing together craftsmen, architects, and of course, those brave citizens who carried this project like a banner. The joy of this distinction was shared enthusiastically by all, from the local butcher to the baker with the mouthwatering creations, all united by the pride of living in a changing place.

A promising future for Sisteron

With this award, Sisteron opens the doors to a bright future, where the harmony between urban development and environmental preservation is skillfully intertwined. This recognition could encourage other municipalities to follow suit, proving that it is possible to modernize while respecting history. Thus, we can pixelate the future by combining strong vision and local acknowledgment. Every street corner, every renovated facade tells a new story, an unprecedented adventure that the city is about to experience.
