On 11 May, the President and the Director of the European Federation of Napoleonic Cities, Vincent Chauvet and Eleonora Berti, presented Destination Napoleon's activities and strategies to the Board of Directors of the Enlarged Partial Agreement (EPA), which met in Luxembourg on 10 and 11 May 2023.
The presentation is the final part of the regular evaluation process to renew the Council of Europe's Cultural Route certification, awarded to Destination Napoleon in 2015.
Made up of representatives of the Ministries of Culture, Tourism and Foreign Affairs of its 38 Member States and one Observer State, the EPA's Management Board is the governing body that awards the “Council of Europe Cultural Route” certification and evaluates the certified cultural routes every year.
The 2022-2023 certification cycle, analysed by the APE Management Board for decision, saw 14 regular assessments, 2 exceptional assessments and 8 candidates for certification. We will be notified of the decision concerning the assessments in June 2023.
