This project will be co-financed by the Grand Lac agglomeration or the City of Aix-les-Bains (reflection is underway), as well as the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region. These players have signed an agreement in principle, but the overall cost is not yet determined.
Even if this is not one of its direct competences, the Region has been mobilizing for several years to meet the concrete needs of people with disabilities. The Mémard beach development project is in keeping with the spirit of the “H + destination tourism” label. Set up by the regional council, it aims to promote a more inclusive tourist economy, that is to say open to differences.
