Notre Histoire — Public Record

The association LE RALLYE DU VAL DE CREUSE is registered under the French Law of 1901 framework, within the administrative jurisdiction of the department of Creuse (23), with historical and cultural linkages to rural heritage zones including Allier and Ardèche.

Its publication in the Journal Officiel des Associations et Fondations d’Entreprise marks its formal recognition as a non-commercial, member-led initiative dedicated to cultural preservation and community advocacy.

Président: Jean-Marc Delacour (Field Heritage Coordinator)
Trésorier: Claire Montagnier (Community Records Steward)

The governance model is structured around collective decision-making, prioritizing transparency in fieldwork operations and cultural transmission activities.

The association was formed to preserve and transmit rural traditions linked to vénerie culture, trompe de chasse musical practices, and seasonal community gatherings embedded in central France’s rural heritage systems.

Field observations conducted across Creuse and neighboring departments revealed a gradual erosion of intergenerational knowledge transfer, motivating structured community-led preservation efforts.
