:The Rhône Network:
In order to federate all actors (elected officials as well as private organizations) who view the river as a national heritage to be improved, the Rhône River Centre and the Léman Museum created the Rhône Network in 1994. Approximately fifty museums, archive services and associations from the Valais to the Camargue regions take part in the network and are in collaborative contact with the public institutions in charge of the river's development: the Regions, Departments and local authorities. This type of collaboration is contributing to recognition of the central role of the river in structuring identity and development throughout the Rhône territory.
Annual meetings enable these actors to consider many questions related to improvement of the river heritage :
- Arles 2003 “The River: A Common Heritage”
Nyon 2004 “Intangible heritage of the Rhône and Lake Geneva”
Lyon 2005 “The Rhône, new beginning(s), river(s) and sustainable development”.
- Valais 2006 : "Travel for studies in the Valais".
- Arles 2007 : "Discovering the southern Rhône "
