Construction begins on Place Courtonne near Caen's port, a year late

Construction has begun on Place Courtonne near Caen's port, a year behind schedule, with a parking lot already removed. The project, which aims to add greenery to the square, started on October 29, 2025, and is expected to last until December 21, 2025. The plan includes removing a 20-space parking lot and tourist bus spots, replacing them with a sloped green area and new plantings.
