A scale project of conversion for about 4 km of the banks of the Saône river. From the southern entrance of the city to the Bastion Ste Marie, this arrangement offers to the historic center and its periphery, to back in touch with the Saone. The route is marked by a succession of squares and gardens with elaborated lighting scenes. The path of the docks, with his towering plane trees, creates a large pedestrian and cycles traffic that the lighting project unifies in the same soft light.
