Discovering Garonne technology: visit the Grenouillère . basin
*
Exceptionally on European Heritage Days, a visit to the Grenouillère Basin is offered as part of the Action Support Programme.
Have you ever wondered where the rain goes in bad weather? Do you know how floods are managed in the city?
Guest of the Bordeaux Metropole Public Art Program, British artist Susan Trister, has incorporated these issues into her reflection on the use of techniques associated with Bordeaux and its history. His work resulted in three creations, united under the title Ships of Bordeaux*.
One of the major achievements of the flood control system in major cities and the rainwater treatment system is the Grenouillère Basin, which is buried under the Grand Parc. With a diameter of 60 meters, a depth of 24 meters and a capacity of 65,000 cubic meters, it can store rainwater and also clean it thanks to the vortex effect in order to preserve aquatic environments.
A surprise guaranteed to discover this underground cathedral-like reservoir!
In cooperation with the sanitation service of L’Eau Bordeaux Métropole.
