The architectural profession in France is a regulated vocation whose field of intervention covers the work submitted for a building permit that establishes the architectural project, but also involves more extended missions. Architecture is also an artistic occupation. The entire architecture sector consists mainly of small or micro-organizations. They are framed at national level by the National Council of the Order of Architects (ANOC), which has regional relays. It is an associative organization, independent but recognized by the government, which is in charge of regulating the profession and ensuring the training activities. It is important to keep in mind that the title of architect may not be used by a person who doesn’t graduate in architectural studies and who is not registered with the Order of Architects.
