In Itxassou in the French Basque Country, various forms of the heritagization of the cherries are coexisting : festivals, derivatives and ‚small-scale’ heritages are some of them. Three groups of people are taking part in the heritagization system. With the development of those various forms, an important matter appeared: the legitimacy of granting an heritage status. Different dimensions are intertwined in the heritagization of the cherries: the ‘territory’, the ‘terroir’ and the ‘land’. This study deals with the ‚land’ part of the subject which is closely related to the model of the Basque home, called the ‚Etxe’. The ‚Etxe’ ‚is telling’ its inhabitants what they can hand down. On the one hand, the ‚Etxe’ seems to directly grant a heritage status, as it enables to operate a selection between various items. On the other hand, the ‚Etxe’ seems to show its inhabitants how to grant a heritage status.

We will question the appropriation of a place of worship by various migration communities from the working-class town of Rosières, especially by Polish and Portuguese people. Located in central France, the town was built, in a paternalistic move by a factory of the same name during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All the buildings were built on the initiative of the factory’s successive administrations. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the administration started hiring immigrants (first from Poland, then from Portugal and postcolonial countries). By studying the process which led the factory’s management to sell the church to the municipality between 1999 and 2003, we shall observe, on the one hand, the shift of the church’s status in the townspeople’s representations (from a religious symbol to a social one) and, on the other hand, that the mobilization ending with the sale was instigated by those professing Polish ancestry.
