Safety railings had been installed and rescue kits donated to nearby bars.
It is now the banks of the Orne, a little further, which are in the viewfinder.
A petition has just been launched by the family of Olivier Louise, a 23-year-old young man who died in July 2021 after a fall in the river, reports the regional daily.
“We would like there to be more protection all along the quays, with railings and/or CCTV cameras”, asks Émilie, the sister of the young victim who also points out “the lack of light” in the sector. .
Originally from a neighboring town, Olivier would have watched the final of the Euro football in a bar in Caen, this July 11, 2021, traces

He had been seen for the last time, a little later, seated at the edge of the river, Quai de Juillet.
The three other people who were with him reportedly claimed to have left the scene between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.
The autopsy established Olivier's death around 10:30 p.m.
