For more than five years, the “Heritage Mission”, better known as “Mission Bern”, has been deployed by the Heritage Foundation. Each year, it selects endangered monuments that will benefit from funds to undertake their restoration, thanks to the famous “Heritage Lotto”.
The names of the sites selected in the Var were unveiled on Monday 29 August. Casa Nieves, Blasco Mentor’s house-workshop in Solliès Toucas has been selected and will benefit from the financial support of the 2022 edition of this FDJ Heritage Lotto. The amount of the endowment for each site will be announced at the next European Heritage Days on 17 and 18 September 2022.
Above is a photo of Blasco Mentor’s workshop house, surrounded by its gardens, hanging on the village hill. This amazing house is a real creation designed over time by the artist himself.
