A game or taxes on luxury hotels to fund heritage

A set of French Games, taxes on luxury hotels or a levy on casinos are some of the tracks followed by the Ministry of Culture to fund heritage restoration in chronic deficit and growing needs.

The Minister of Culture and Communication Christine Albanel, who presented Monday his greetings to the press in the rooms of the Rue de Valois, said consider creating a “fund” which will fund the restoration of heritage.

To “provide the means to maintain and restore” assets, it must “find a source to supplement perennial budgetary allocations, which are on average 300 million euros a year, she said.

Ms Albanel has advanced the idea of ??creating a support fund “whose income would lead a great heritage policy” that President Nicolas Sarkozy had mentioned at the opening of the City of Architecture and Heritage September 17, 2007.

A specific set of French Games could be dedicated to that goal, but “this does not bring much,” said the minister.

Ms Albanel spoke of “an interesting idea” that would be a “contribution” on the nights in four star hotels and more. “Two little euros, it’s half the price of a soda from the minibar on hotels priced night is from 180 to 220 euros or more,” said the minister, adding that it “is sufficient to give 50 million euros. ”

“There is real logic of funding. Approximately 70% of the clientele of these establishments are foreigners, whose visit is often linked to our heritage,” Ms Albanel said previously in Le Figaro.

Andre Daguin, president of the Union of trades and industries in the hotel, has responded by “daring to hope it was a wild idea and own ideas in the air is falling.” “I am a bit surprised, because these statements are childishly simple. When there are missing somewhere in there is going to ask the hotel to participate,” said Mr Daguin, adding that he had not been consulted.

According to the Ministry of Culture, withdrawals from the French Games (for example, 2% charged on bets of players gave in 2006 to EUR 173 million development center of the sport) and casinos (the figure sales of 20 billion euros per year) are other tracks.

The development of sponsorship for individuals and businesses is also planned, with a sort of shared funds.

The Culture Minister was speaking while a report on the status of French monumental park was sent late last week in parliament, laying an average of 400 million euros a year financing needs.

The report indicates that the number of monuments considered in bad condition (in “bad condition” or “endangered”) increased from 32% in 2002 to 41% in 2007, with a significant worsening (33% against 28%) on monuments belonging to the state.

65% of monuments in danger, moreover, lie in municipalities under 2,000 inhabitants, deprived of funding and expertise, the ministry said.

The need to work from 7 billion to nearly $ 11 billion. For example, the only renewal of the roofs of historic buildings is 50 million per year.

Small event for the casino today Barrier: A foundation stone will be symbolically laid this afternoon at the site of Dondaine (between Lille-Europe and the Zenith). The temporary casino, it opened in November, found its name (“The Preview”) and 150 slot machines waiting for February 1.

First stone .- More than a foundation stone, it’s a symbolic gesture, on the edge of the yard, which is made ??this afternoon by the team of Group Barrier and Warden Lille, Patricia Legros. The permanent casino complex (comprising casino, theater and hotel 4 stars) will not open its doors in 2009 on land within the park Dondaine behind Lille-Europe and next to the Zenith.

The provisional baptism .- Until 2009, a temporary casino opened its doors on November 1, 2007, in rooms on the forecourt of Rotterdam (with his back to Lille-Europe and Euralille, just opposite the casino of the future final ). “We wanted to banish the word” provisional “, which has a negative side as Barrier permanently implanted in Lille, says Patricia Legros. So we found a name: The Preview. “The company has not yet been installed on the front and the casino is suffering from a” location problem “, says the director. One of the first grounds of appeal: “But where are you exactly? “> No, then with slot machines .- The first visitors were astonished them: no, there was no slot machines at the temporary casino, but nine gaming tables (Roulette, Blackjack and Stud Poker), open from 19 am to 4 pm (plus a restaurant and a stage). “We had won the approval of the commission races and games on October 26. We do not manufacture 150 machines in five days! “Says P. Legros. So the machines arrive on February 1.

.- The first record is pretty good. The Previews account since November 190 entries per day (200 expected). Clients in the region of Lille, the faithful of Barrier Group and a few Belgians and Parisians. Of these 190 admissions per day, there are experts, but also a “public release”, the weekend, arriving in groups. Friday and Saturday come see many “first-time visitors.” The specificity of Lille: not huge gamers, but many small players. You do not come bet the price of his house, but sometimes play for fifty euros. With the installation of slot machines, a new public “recreation” is expected. The casino put on 800 entries per day (10 am to 4 pm).

Big wins? – The rule of the casino is to maintain the confidentiality of what live players. For security reasons, management does not disclose earnings. “But I can tell you that there have been several large since November lucky! Smiles Patricia Legros. With games, we’re really in the area of ??randomness. Do not come to the casino to win, but for fun. “
