Port-en-Bessin-Huppain: Major Renovation Project for Calvados

The prefect, accompanied by the president of the Calvados Council, the mayor, the president of Bayeux Intercom, and local officials, visited the Port-en-Bessin-Huppain departmental port for a significant renovation project. With a goal to optimally function for future decades, the project includes: restoring moles East and West, reinforcing quays and the promenade of the avant-port, securing the promenade Signac and quai Letourneur, rehabilitating the quai de l’Épi, and modernizing public networks and spaces. The 45,000 tonnes of materials and 5,000 blocks of several-tonne concrete are mobilized for this logistical and technological feat. The renovation addresses the aging structures of the 19th century and intensified climate risks, aiming to secure the coastline, protect residents and activities, and ensure port viability. A specific procedure for marine mammal protection is also integrated to preserve the local ecosystem.
