Residents of the Bordeaux neighborhood of Bassins à Flot feel wronged by the increase in their fees decided by the large maritime port. They now accuse the port of being responsible for serious pollution in their neighborhood.

The port of Bordeux responds to "rumors" of pollution in the water basins. “We are a public establishment of the State with a recognized naval activity,” Renaud Picard, deputy general director of the GPMB, tells Le Figaro.
