The community of communes of Saulieu invited all the traders and artisans of the territory to a presentation of the study was conducted under the Fisac.


The community of communes of Saulieu embarked on a process to ensure that its territory can receive aid from the State of Fisac (Fund intervention services, crafts and trade).

A preliminary study on trade and crafts, including diagnosis and recommendations, was completed and used to define the relevant actions to be implemented and for which financial aid may be sought under this scheme.

More about the existing need was to define the objective of the study but said the president, Anne-Catherine Loisier, "the active involvement of merchants and craftsmen is needed in this phase of reflection". Working groups and a steering committee will be set up knowing that the goal of Fisac is to develop an action plan to then be able to meet expectations. The findings



With 140 shops and craftsmen activities including 120 in Saulieu, the territory of the community has a joint commercial offer beyond the coverage of local needs on all records except personal equipment . The offer is atypical compared to the demographic situation. Not to mention the service turned on by 15% of households in the territory. But today, it is clear that it is difficult to retain local people who perhaps did not adequately identified the offer when we know that 50% of the expenditure side of the residents are made Saulieu .

And indeed, we talk about urban entity of downtown Saulieu, a specificity to the city but also because there are only averages surfaces, which may explain the evasion of customers.

Working areas

An increase in the supply of current needs is essential for better anchor the current trade area in the population. Developing links between the restoration and heart Saulieu remains an important issue, highly dependent on the signage and wider communication developed. For further reflection on the four proposed areas of work are: to support the modernization of the working tool of traders and artisans continue the qualification of urban development in the downtown Saulieu; develop communication ensuring touch different audiences; enhance the animation of the territory especially in the center of Saulieu.
