Melun wishes to save and open to the public the Saint-Sauveur priory, the cradle of the city built 2,000 years ago. “We are modernizing a lot in Melun, there is the arrival of Tzen 2, the renovation of the Station Centre, we also want to safeguard and highlight the city's heritage, it is important,” says Kadir Mebarek (Horizons), the mayor of the town.

If we do nothing, this heritage will collapse and be lost, says Diane Laneluc, head of the archeology department.
