Réseau Excellence EPV Contract 2025 Closing Evening December 11, 2025 – A community on the move, a future under construction

On December 11, 2025, the Réseau Excellence EPV Contract organized its annual closing evening, bringing together all of its ecosystem around the founding values of Life Heritage Enterprises (EPV): excellence in know-how, transmission and innovation for contemporary projects.

This meeting allowed us to take stock of a year marked by the strengthening of the links between the companies certified EPV and the actors of prescription - architects, designers, decorators, hoteliers, partners and institutions - in a structured and sustainable collective dynamic.

A structured community serving French excellence

Throughout 2025, the Réseau Excellence EPV Contract has pursued its objective of federation and of valuing exceptional know-how. The closing evening illustrated the maturity of a committed ecosystem, united by a common requirement of quality, meaning and sustainability. The Réseau Excellence EPV Contract thus affirms its role as a platform for dialogue and cooperation between EPV companies and prescribers, contributing to the outreach of contemporary French excellence, anchored in the territories and oriented towards the future.

The survey will run from January to April 2026, with a collective return of the results to the members of the Excellence Network.

Human at the heart of collective performance

Au-delà des perspectives stratégiques, cette soirée a rappelé une conviction essentielle : l'excellence des savoir-faire repose avant tout sur l'humain. La maîtrise du geste, la transmission intergénérationnelle, l'ancrage territorial et l'engagement collectif constituent le socle des Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant et de l'action du Réseau Excellence EPV Contract.

Le Réseau Excellence EPV Contract remercie l'ensemble des participants pour leur présence et leur engagement, ainsi que ses ambassadeurs et partenaires pour leur confiance renouvelée
