As you know, the Hérault department has been in a state of health emergency since last week. Thus, the Hérault prefecture has put in place measures to be applied throughout the territory, as stated below.
Also, we wanted to focus on the grants dedicated to the Tourism sector, strongly impacted by this crisis and very present in our region.
