It is not common for a city in its thirties to be awarded the prestigious label Villes d'art et d'histoire by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. And yet, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines urban community succeeded in this brilliant move in June 2006. It is thus the first new ex-city to have received this label, which responds to three criteria: make residents aware of their living environment and encourage quality tourism, introduce young people to architecture, heritage and urban planning, and finally present the city (visits, interpretation centre...).
