Back to the event on 09 July in the Prefecture of Auvergne Rhône Alpes

At the end of its General Assembly, Réseau Excellence honoured the new companies labeled as well as those that renewed their Label Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) - symbol of the excellence of French know-how - during a ceremony organized at the Prefecture of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

This year, 51 regional companies were distinguished:
- 27 received the label for the first time
- 24 had their label renewed

With 191 companies labeled, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes ranks 2nd national in number of EVVs, illustrating the richness of its artisanal and industrial heritage, as well as its dynamism in terms of innovation.

Tristan de Witte, Tristan Rodriguez and Philippe Moreau Chevalier, accompanied by Grégory Laurent and Philippe Neymarc (President and Secretary General of Réseau Excellence Auvergne‐Rhône‐Alpes) and Carole Doire (Director Marketing at Maison Giraudet), with the help of Madam Prefect Fabienne Buccio, unveiled the new vertical "Gastronomy EPV network". The meeting allowed, in the heart of the French culinary centre, to present this magnificent project and to meet the National Centre for Gastronomy and the famous Bocuse d'Or Lyonnais Davy Tissot.

For the third year, the AURA prefecture in connection with Réseau Excellence AURA, has renewed its photo exhibition to highlight the newly labeled EPVs in order to reveal their wealth to as many people as possible. A photo exhibition signed by Jérôme Poulalier, a photographer who captivates with talent the passion of a profession through a portrait and a gesture.
