À Miquelon, un vaste projet contre la submersion se concrétise
AI Article Summary

In the village of Miquelon, a major project is underway to combat rising sea levels by relocating residents to higher ground. This unprecedented effort in France involves purchasing homes on low-lying land prone to flooding and offering compensation for residents to rebuild on safer areas. The initiative gained momentum after a devastating storm highlighted the area's vulnerability. Although some residents are hesitant, there is hope that the project's early successes will encourage wider participation.
