The Forteresse de Polignac is still part of the heritage of the Polignac family through the Forteresse de Polignac Foundation, created in 1998 by Princess Constance de Polignac. It has been managed since 2012 by the Forteresse Polignac Patrimoine Association made up of the main players in the territory of the village.
The aim of the Association is to manage, promote and animate the Fortress of Polignac as well as the rich heritage of the village.
Composed of invested members, the Association’s commitments are based on 4 fundamental points:
- Do everything possible to guarantee the widest possible period of opening to the public
- Offer a rich and varied program that touches all types of audiences in order to encourage the return of visitors to the Fortress
- Highlight the entire village heritage through the image of the Fortress
- Integrate all the actors of the village in order to create a real cohesion between elected council members, traders, accommodation providers and inhabitants in order to make a village, a municipality and not just a monument live.
