PARIS, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Residents of Vichy, the famous spa resort in central France, are preparing a low-key music party with light show to mark the glory and responsibility of becoming World Heritage site, a prestigious status that their home won together with ten other towns in Europe.
"Taking into account the sanitary conditions, we couldn't have organized too big a celebration," said Anke Matthys, coordinator of Vichy's candidature for the transnational UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage site under the name "Great Spas of Europe."
