In this district close to downtown, public space must establish a harmonious urban framework, where uses work together without clashes, where locals everyday life is made easier, within an embellished framework, for their greater pleasure and that of the visitors. The cathedral Saint-Front and the banks of the Isle join again thanks to the creation of a square, a garden of turfed terraces, and a large pedestrian ambulatory between the riverbanks and Place de la Clautre.
