According to the 1999 census , our departement numbers some 194,700 inhabitants with a density of 32 people per square kilometre. The prefecture is at Chaumont, with a population of 26,900, and the two sous-prefectures are at St Dizier, population 36,900, and Langres, population 10,900.
Its geographic position, motorway and railway links, a determined willingness on the part of all local organisations, all contribute to the formidable future of Langres and its surrounding communities.
It is a region characterised by its cultural richness in terms of buildings, nature and the arts.
Our quality of life speaks for itself. Calm and conviviality are framed by beautiful countryside, forests, rivers and lakes.
Social services are close by (housing, schools, shops, public administration, health, social health, work and training etc). Local politicians and private individuals have set out to make themselves available to guide and welcome newcomers.
Finally, lets not forget the extraordinary number of clubs and associations which give to the area a rich and varied social and cultural life. |
