French government says massive floating bar ‘not compatible with marine environmental protections’
Plans for a floating party “island” anchored off the French Riviera have been dropped amid a row over environmental concerns.
Canua Island – a 1,750 sq metre platform on a motorised trimaran designed to look like a giant floating bar – was set to open this summer 600 metres off France’s Mediterranean coast. Instead, it remains moored at the port of La Seyne-sur-Mer while awaiting permits amid a growing row among local politicians in the south of France and environmental groups.
