Through her work, she manages the PNPC&#8217;s visitor centers, coordinates awareness-raising events, and supports municipalities in the membership area, such as La Croix Valmer, in their development and preservation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On October 21, Virginie will be attending Sea Day: a major event (free and open to all) aimed at showcasing the riches of the marine environment and raising awareness among young and old alike of the fragile beauty of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00a0Raising awareness means first and foremost inspiring wonder.

It is a region that shares the same values as the National Park: respect, transmission, and preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here, everything begins with the sea.
