The nine finalists have fallen… and Annecy is not there. The label of French capital of culture is a novelty for 2022, and it will therefore be another municipality that will obtain it.

Lhe municipality and the cultural actors of Annecy had hoped for it. They even believed in it a lot. But Annecy will not be the first French capital of culture.
The preselection of the nine finalists by the Ministry of Culture has just fallen and Annecy is not among the candidates still in the running.
The cities selected are Brest (Brittany), Laval (Mayenne), Angoulême (Charente), Le Mans (Sarthe), Metz (Moselle), Saint-Paul de la Réunion, Sète (Hérault), Villeurbanne (Rhône) and the community of municipalities of Val Briard in Seine-et-Marne.
These finalists will be auditioned by a jury at the end of March 2021 for a result which will fall in early April. The big winner will benefit from the label and funding of one million euros.
