"Canua Island" is a barge intended to receive the public for entertainment as on a private beach but in the middle of the undulations of the Mediterranean. Criticisms of the environmental impacts of this atypical vessel have been made.
"This is an innovation that every French person can be proud of, it's a world first," said Jean-Bernard Falco, president of Smart Island Riviera. The region of PACA is preparing to file two appeals against the project in case of approval.
