Heritage preservation in the Provence -Alpes -Cote d'Azur region
Total has pledged funding of 8 million euros to the Heritage Foundation for projects aimed at preserving historic monuments and restoring heritage elements in regions where our company has its major industrial sites. In the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) region, our biggest site is the Provence refinery.
- Total restores the ruins of Tholon -
The archaeological site of Tholon lies in the municipality of Martigues (Bouches-du-Rhône), beside the lake of Berre in an exceptionally scenic setting. Formerly the property of Total, the site has been owned by the municipality since the 1990s.
Since 1998, the municipal authorities of Martigues have been working on the restoration of the site, which contains the ruins of a Gallo-Roman settlement whose founder was known as Tholon.
The heritage policy of Martigues, funded by Total, is primarily aimed at restoring the site, opening it to the public and continuing with archaeological and scientific research.
Total is funding work on the consolidation and restoration of masonry, buildings and other structures, as well as urgent buttressing work and the improvement of access conditions.
