The team

A team with multiple skills

The Fondation Facim carries out its missions with a team of men and women who are professionals in the cultural field and in tourism. The team, made up of 10 people, is responsible for the development and the coordination of the projects. It also promotes the activities and manages the administration.

About thirty guide-lecturers, registered with the Ministry for Culture handle the visits and the conferences of the Savoy heritage. They were recruited in the context of the ‘Pays d'art et d'histoire des Hautes vallées de Savoie' label ‘Region of art and history of the High Savoy valleys). Five regional specialists are always available and maintain a permanent dialogue with the local partners. In the villages, 70 heritage volunteers, working in an unpaid voluntary basis, are in direct contact with the Chemins du baroque® visitors ; they hold the keys to the religious edifices and inform the public.
