Title: Under the guidance of the urban architect Nicolas Michelin
Description: an industrial wasteland has become a multi-faceted site: a “melting port”, a place of culture and revelry. In just a decade, everything has changed. Nowadays, the Bassins à Flot district is a shining example of how to transform an abandoned zone into a trendy area where places of culture, nightlife, residence, business, and shopping can sit harmoniously alongside one another. It also represents another success in terms of “balance”; the emergence of this new tourist district has contributed to spreading the flux of visitors over the city. For instance, Les Bassins de Lumières, the largest digital art centre in France, is housed in an old submarine base from the Second World War, plunging visitors into the works of Monet, Renoir, and Chagall. Similarly, Le Musée Mer Marine is another symbolic building to have emerged in the district, shining a light on the oceanic world and sailing, and the Cap Sciences popularises scientific culture for both adults and children. These cultural establishments live alongside open-air bars, restaurant boats, an indoor-market, venues for music and dance shows, plus nightlife hotspots that attract locals and visitors alike.
