The project is based on the development of new services, articulated around soft transport links.

The study for the Grisolles commune also involves creating of a stopover with a reception building and mooring pontoon. This creates an opportunity to redesign the river banks, to encourage re appropriation by boat users as well as by town dwellers.  At Dieupentale, a lockmasters house becomes a hiking/bike stopover with a restaurant-bar. Between the two a red line serves both as signage and facilitates a reconnaissance of the bike and pedestrian pathway on the inter communal territorial continuity.
