The Municipality of Bourg-Saint-Andéol has launched a study to rethink the layout of the Saint-Andéol cemetery, aiming to improve the landscape, user comfort, and maintenance conditions.

In response to the ban on phytosanitary products, the municipality is prioritizing mechanical and manual weeding. This shift necessitates adapting the surfacing of paths and walkways, which are sometimes incompatible with these new practices. The Council for Architecture, Urbanism, and Environment (CAUE) conducted an initial diagnosis, presented in February 2026.
Several avenues are being explored, including reorganizing the pathways, adapting surfacing materials, increasing vegetation, and enhancing the landscape integration and user comfort.
Concurrently, a procedure to reclaim abandoned concessions has been initiated. This effort aims to coordinate future work and prevent successive interventions that could interfere with each other. The goal is to create a coherent plan for phased interventions in priority areas, preparing for future cemetery developments while balancing environmental respect, landscape quality, and the serenity of the site.
