Soulac-sur-Mer (central-western France): the four-storey building “Le Signal”, whose owners were evacuated by a prefecture decree for climatic reasons, a first in France. “Le signal” is now just ten meters from the sea on a small dune which is ready to collapse (200m when it was built in the 60s). The sandbank will be reinforced during the building’s asbestos abatement between September 2018 and spring 2019 *** Local Caption ***
