Work began in January and was inaugurated on 20 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full photo-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joaquim-pires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/M03_promenade.jpg\" alt=\"Walkers on Sainte-Maxime\u2019s new seafront promenade\" class=\"wp-image-82\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joaquim-pires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/M03_promenade.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.joaquim-pires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/M03_promenade-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This second phase is part of a wider project to redevelop the promenade and enhance the town, initiated by Mayor Vincent Morisse and his team, together with his deputy for public works, Jean-Maurice Zorzi. It was inaugurated in front of more than 300 people and many elected officials: the Mayor, Alain Benedetto, departmental councillor, Jean-Jacques Courchet, Mayor of La Garde-Freinet, and Paul Bausset, former Mayor of Sainte-Maxime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving the promenade back to pedestrians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim: to give pedestrians back their space by making the promenade safer and more modern. Goodbye to poor lighting, uneven pavements, tired plane trees and trip hazards. The second section of the seafront now has a whole new look: Washingtonia filifera palm trees, planters, proper lighting, and pavements refreshed and widened by 1.40 m to make walking easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final stage of this makeover will concern two of Sainte-Maxime\u2019s best-known streets, Avenue Jean-Jaur\u00e8s and Avenue Georges-Clemenceau. Its objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list liste-objectifs\">\n<li>showcase the town\u2019s heritage and green spaces;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>take into account the many activities and uses of the sites;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>encourage safe walking and cycling;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>organise traffic, parking, deliveries and stops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work is due to be completed in April 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"signature wp-block-paragraph\">Article by Pauline Rabut<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second phase of Sainte-Maxime\u2019s new seafront promenade was inaugurated on 20 June.
