Located directly on the Promenade des Anglais on the outskirts of the Haliotis2 site, it offers an educational trail to present the actions undertaken to preserve water resources as part of the project, as well as a large scale model that gives local residents the opportunity to project themselves and be reassured as to the architectural and landscape integration of this large-scale project into its urban and coastal ecosystem.
Virtual tour experiences will soon be available for an even more immersive discovery of the project.
