The municipality of Le Bourget-du-Lac is organizing a public meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Cinélac to discuss the future of the Saint-Maurice Priory, a medieval jewel and candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.

The Saint-Maurice Priory, built around 1030 for Cluny monks and partially classified as a historic monument, is entering a new chapter as it approaches its millennium. The municipality invites residents to a public meeting, the first step in a consultation process regarding the future of this unique site in Savoie.
This evening will be an opportunity to review the initial consultations held in 2022 and 2023, which gathered over sixty Bourgetains. The aim is to synthesize expressed expectations, validate ideas such as cultural diversity and broader public access, and assess feasible projects given the constraints of a thousand-year-old, partially listed historic building.
Participants will explore new avenues for the Priory's future. Citizen participation is considered essential for writing the next chapter of this unique site's history.
