A territory rooted in the essential
A new orchard was inaugurated in the presence of François de Canson, vice-president of the Région Sud.
A discreet but fundamental project, symbol of a deep commitment to the living, local memory and social cohesion. Thus, François de Canson placed this inauguration under the sign of meaning and simplicity: "There are days when politics regains its most noble meaning: that of acting for people's lives, with intelligence, with simplicity, with constancy." Through this orchard, he paid tribute to Robert Beneventi, mayor of Ollioules, highlighting the clarity of his municipal project, guided by a coherent vision and a constant desire to serve the general interest: "In Ollioules, nothing is left to chance," he insisted.
BEATING HEART This orchard is not a simple landscaping project. It is the soul of a municipality that still believes in proximity, in places of tradition, in the beauty of social ties.
In a world saturated with noise and agitation, François de Canson praised the modernity of investing in silence, peace, and the shade of trees: "Offering the population public spaces that are not waiting zones, but places of appreciation and connection," is the objective pursued with method and humility. What you are achieving here deserves to be praised. You are one of those elected officials who seek neither the spotlight nor shortcuts, but who choose the demanding path of concrete, sustainable, and shared action."
This project embodies the regional vision: "giving power to what is right." The Région Sud is resolutely close to the ground, supporting useful, sincere, and structuring local actions.
There is no small project, no small memory. The local is the universal within reach."
In a context where centralization often weakens territories, François de Canson reaffirmed his commitment to "the Republic of reality where municipalities are our front lines. This garden we are opening today is not simply a green space. It is the silent expression of a territory that still believes in the future."
Beyond the orchard, it is a certain idea of public service that is expressed in Ollioules.
"A geography of daily life redesigned with ambition, at the service of a territory rooted, open, turned towards life. Let us pursue this patient and useful work together. Let us continue to build territories on a human scale," concluded François de Canson.
