(For information on the progress of the construction site of the Flamanville 3 unit and the operation of the two production units of the nuclear power plant - Flamanville 1 and 2.

In May 2006, EDF decided, after four months of public consultations, to construct the first EPR-type French nuclear reactor. The site called Flamanville 3 is located on the same name. The new reactor incorporates the return of experience of nearly 30 years'operation of nuclear power plants by EDF. Its performance will be increased in all areas: reduced by at least 30% of the releases to the environment by Mw produced, reducing the quantity of radioactive waste by 30% compared with the current 1350 megawatt reactors, reducing by a factor of 10 of the risk of serious accidents already extremely low on current reactors, a production of 1650 megawatt (or the consumption value of a region of Picardy size).

Almost 650 employees EDF currently operates the Flamanville nuclear power plant. Thanks to its two 1350 megawatt reactors, it produces an average of 18 billion kilowatt hours per year. During construction, the most intense peak of activity will see 2 500 professionals in action on the site of Flamanville 3. In 2012, EDF employees will operate the new production unit.

An imposing building in the heart of the city, the City Hotel was, until the merger of Cherbourg and Octeville, the only town hall in the city, which now counts an appendix on the heights. Opened every day of the ouvrée week, the place, steeped in history, especially at the time of allied liberation, offers ventilated and functional spaces. Note on the side of the building, entering the Rue de la Paix, a large souvenir plaque dedicated to events in the city upon release.

Mmm! These brioches made with churn butter and cooked in wood fire, like all of the pastry and bakery of this house before which there is often tail. They know them - and recognize - as far as Channel. Other little delicacies from home: lemon rye bread, bread for apples and cider… Pastries are not the same as: they smell the butter, know-how and fresh products. To find the address, at times of fournées, it is easy: all it takes is to follow the delicate smell of the ovens.

The administrative unit covers an entire geographical area, including the central-eastern part of the department. Bordering Calvados, just a few dozen kilometers from the coast (both the eastern Cotentin and the west coast), the Communauté d'Agglomération Saint-Lô Agglo encompasses the prefectural city and almost a hundred surrounding communes, in a preserved natural environment, between Vire and the hills. More than 75,000 people live here.

This public establishment for inter-municipal cooperation covers the entire southernmost part of the département, from the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel to the departments of Orne and Mayenne. With its maritime and bocage landscapes, the area includes several small urban centers, such as Avranches, Pontorson, Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët and Mortain. Well served, it has a population of almost 90,000, and a historic heritage of the highest order, beyond that of Mont-Saint-Michel alone.

Right in the heart of the département, this public institution for inter-municipal cooperation boasts a long coastline, including several seaside resorts such as Agon-Coutainville, Gouville-sur-Mer and Hauteville-sur-Mer. The area also boasts a number of inland communes, set in green, hedged farmland offering complete tranquillity. In the center, Coutances proudly holds its rank as a sub-prefecture, with shops, entertainment and heritage.

The Communauté d'Agglomération du Cotentin is the department's most populous EPCI. With a population of almost 180,000, it covers the northernmost part of the Cotentin region, including its north, west and east coasts. Cherbourg-en-Cotentin is the main town in a multi-faceted region well served by motorways and railways. Here, the sea is never far away, and the inland is hilly and green.

Comprising 32 communes and 45,000 inhabitants, this community of communes is divided, like others in the Manche department and as its name suggests, between coastal areas and inland. The green bocage is dotted with small shopping towns and peaceful villages, while the coastal zone is a succession of beautiful beaches and seaside resorts. At the heart of the latter is Granville, whose lively cultural life sets it apart from the rest of the Manche region.
