Fol­lo­wing twelve years of revi­ta­li­sa­tion in the areas around the Le Bassin du Com­merce’ har­bour, Cherbourg‘s inha­bi­tants can now take advan­tage of a 400 m² green space where they can take a stroll or engage in vari­ous other leisure acti­vi­ties. Across an area of more than 11,500 m², 7,000 new plants have been plan­ted – palm trees, white mag­no­lia, bam­boos and shrubs, cycle paths incor­po­ra­ted and a 1,000 m² out­door skater park const­ruc­ted.

The light con­cept and lumi­na­ires were desig­ned by the French light desig­ner Yann Ker­salé, who has pre­vi­o­usly ins­tal­led Selux lumi­na­ires in Marseille’s old port. More than 100 exte­rior lumi­na­ires called Lu-Mignon and seve­ral Olivio lumi­na­ires ensure a ple­asant mood in the park both by day and by night.

The unobt­ru­sive ver­ti­cal light and their vari­able design make the Lu-Mig­nons a real eye catc­her. From the inside the IP68 cer­ti­fied exte­rior housings have been foil-coated with vari­ous floral motifs (bamboo shoots, flo­wers and leaves). All this has given rise to a green oasis in the middle of this indust­rial har­bour lands­cape, which acts as an att­rac­tive meeting point for the citi­zens of Cher­bo­urg.
