Monaco needs another 6 hectares of space and has come up with an ambitious plan to build out into the sea.  The new ‘eco-quartier’, L’Anse du Portier, will rest on 18 massive ‘caissons’ which are to be built in Marseille.

This huge undertaking will mean installing a production facility, offices, storage and parking area down in the Marseille docks, work that has already begun.

The construction of the ‘caissons’ themselves will take place from this September to March 2019 when they will be transported down to Monaco by boat.

This project is unique in France and is surely a marvel of engineering.  Take a look at the film……………
