The Water Mirror is the centerpiece of the redeployment of the quays of the Garonne, an urban walk of more than 4.5 km. We will take advantage of this urban element, imagined by the landscaper Michel Corajoud in 2009 and a real popular success, to talk about the recent developments of the city and a view of the right bank.

La Méca is the bridgehead of the Euratlantique operation, for a reconquest of the banks of the Garonne. Cultural center opened in 2019, it is the result of the collaboration between the architects BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) and Freaks.
