On 30 November 2000, the Loire Valley, in its middle reaches of Sully-sur-Loire (Loiret) to Chalonnes-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire), is inscribed on the World Heritage List of the organization of United Nations educational, Scientific and cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a "cultural landscape". This listing recognizes the site of "Outstanding Universal Value" based on the density of its monumental, architectural and urban interest of the river landscape and the exceptional quality of the landscape inherited expressions of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Any deterioration in O.U.V. is considered a loss to the memory of the Humanité. The prefect of the Centre region, coordinator Prefect, approved the management plan for the Loire Valley World Heritage by order dated November 15, 2012. Thirty-five towns in the Loiret are part of the heritage site, including Tavers.[citation needed]
