Christian Estrosi, Deputy Mayor of Nice, President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis: “I congratulate the CE1/CE2 class of Ms. Lisa Corniglion of Lantosque Elementary School on this magnificent 1st National Prize, of which I am very proud. I also congratulate the CM2 class of Ms. Nathalie Bausola-Patricia of Rosalinde Rancher 1 School for their honorary diploma.
This 9th edition of the national contest “Young Heritage Reporters” allowed all these children to become aware of the richness of the heritage that surrounds them, to have a better understanding of it, and to realize the importance of protecting it. I am strongly committed to this heritage. That’s why, since 2008, I have launched a vast project of renovation, maintenance, and enhancement of these extraordinary riches bequeathed by our ancestors and destined to be passed on to future generations.”
