PETR Pays Auxois Morvan

What PETR Pays Auxois Morvan does

PETR Pays Auxois Morvan is a French public territorial establishment (Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural) headquartered in Vitteaux, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, serving the Auxois Morvan rural region. Founded as a PETR in 2014 — succeeding a Pays structure that existed for over 30 years — the organization coordinates territorial development across member municipalities through several public programmes. Its core service portfolio includes management of the European LEADER rural development fund (current period 2023-2027), the Projet Alimentaire Territorial (PAT) and 'Productions Auxois Morvan Naturellement' local production certification, the Contrat Local de Santé addressing rural medical access, digital support services (Accompagnement Numérique), and a free mobile application ('L'Auxois Morvan dans la poche') for discovering local commerce, culture, and tourism.

The organization operates as a non-commercial public body funded entirely through institutional sources: European LEADER programme funds, the Conseil Régional de Bourgogne Franche-Comté via Contrats de Territoire, and contributions from member municipalities. It holds multiple official labels — Pays d'art et d'histoire, Projet Alimentaire Territorial, Productions Auxois Morvan naturellement, and Territoire d'Industrie — providing credibility in heritage preservation, food systems, and industrial development. Its technology footprint is limited to a content/website platform and a mobile application for territorial discovery; no commercial products, pricing model, or proprietary technology platform is present. The organization is led by President Patrick MOLINOZ, who concurrently serves as Vice-President of the regional council, and operates with a team of approximately 5 dedicated staff managing multi-stakeholder territorial initiatives.
