Towns and villages in bloom in Puy-de-Dôme

Understanding the Villes et Villages Fleuris label

For more than 60 years, the national Villes et Villages Fleuris (Flowering Towns and Villages ) label has been recognising local authorities' commitment to improving the quality of life, the importance of plants, biodiversity and attractiveness.

It recognises local authorities that have invested in landscaping and quality of life. It is open to all communes, and is based on 4 levels of distinction (from 1 to 4 Fleurs):

  • 1 flower: development underway but still limited
  • 2 flowers: high quality development
  • 3 flowers: comprehensive and sustainable commitment
  • 4 flowers: commitment to excellence

The steps involved in obtaining the Villes et villages fleuris (Towns and Villages in Bloom) label: the Puy-de-Dôme provides support

Communes register at departmental level, and the department supports and selects those eligible for the label. The Region awards the 1st to 3rd Fleurs; the 4th is awarded by the CNVVF (Conseil National des Villes et Villages Fleuris). The label is reassessed every 5 years.

The Puy-de-Dôme department offers three types of support:

  • Discovering the label: a visit to gain a better understanding of the label and general advice.
  • Support in obtaining the label: in-depth recommendations to help you prepare your application.
  • Label follow-up: support in preparing for the jury's visit when the municipality already has the label.

Le Cendre: a day dedicated to sustainable management and the Villes et Villages Fleuris label

On 20 January 2026, the Puy-de-Dôme departmental council brought together elected representatives and technical staff in Le Cendre for a day of discussions on the sustainable management of public spaces.

Alongside FREDON Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the Panse Bêtes association, participants discovered simple practices that can be transferred to their local authorities.

  • The morning was devoted to recycling green waste by creating a dry hedge.
  • The afternoon focused on protecting hedgehogs: identifying elements of the local landscape that could harm them, creating passageways and shelters.

Testimonials and demonstrations provided local authorities with practical ideas for making their public spaces more sustainable and welcoming to living creatures.
