The Cité de l'Océan et du Surf in Biarritz

30 September 2011 - Events - France

In Biarritz (south-west France), the Cité de l‘Océan et du Surf, designed by architect Steven Holl, and the new aquarium at the Museum of the Sea were inaugurated on 25 June. The project was undertaken within the framework of a PPP (public-private partnership) covering the financing and construction of the two attractions and their maintenance for 30 years.

It has benefited from the expertise of Adim Sud-Ouest, GTM Sud-Ouest Bâtiment, Faure Silva, the technical design office of VINCI Construction France and Cofex Littoral (all VINCI Construction France subsidiaries), and VINCI Facilities (Energy business line), which will be responsible for maintenance.
