The Falaise site is once again open to the public. The local authorities finally took into consideration the observations of citizens who found themselves deprived of the charms of the site, its breathtaking views of the sea, and its beautiful sunsets. Nevertheless, for more security, the authorities have maintained the presence of security agents at the two main entrances to the Falaise. These agents no longer require an identity card or a badge to access the site, but they still keep control and watch over the safety of visitors. The road leading to the Falaise has also been redeveloped to facilitate access. "This new decision has relieved us, especially since many families used to go to this site to relax," stresses a resident of Mohammedia. Let us recall that this mythical space offers multiple possibilities for relaxation and leisure, including line fishing, which makes all sea enthusiasts dream. Along the site, the landscape is magical. The views are captivating, exceptional panoramas of the sea and part of Mohammedia "Oued El Maleh, Stade Bachir, etc.". Seen from this place, the sunset is magnificent. Those who bring the Falaise site to life are obviously the line fishermen, fascinated by the sea. These hardened fishermen continue with the same conviction and the same simplicity, just like their ancestors, to perpetuate a trade that allows some to combine business with pleasure and others to provide for their needs. However, the Falaise of Mohammedia requires a real rejuvenation. "If it is valued, the site could drain and attract many visitors," affirms a communal official. Except for the development of the road along its circuit, the site suffers from a deficit in terms of infrastructure. The most worrying thing is the current state of part of the boundary wall ensuring the safety of visitors and fishermen. "This space attracts many curious people and fishing enthusiasts, but also history buffs," a resident of Mohammedia confides to us. At the foot of the Falaise, one can see the Italian building sunk during the Second World War. The remains of this building are visible when the sea is calm, and it is only from the Falaise that one can see them. The Hassan II mosque is also visible when the weather is nice and the sea is calm. It should be noted that the Falaise site is considered a place of escape for some and a refuge for others, keen on contemplation and romanticism.
The Reasons for the ban
The local authorities had justified the closure of the cliff to the public in 2012 for security reasons. Indeed, the site is very sensitive. It is crossed by a network of pipelines connecting the oil port of Mohammedia to a gas distribution company, as well as to Samir. Accidents and tragedies have occurred there in the past. We still remember the propane gas leak in 2010, fortunately felt by the residents of the Falaise district at the level of a pipeline connecting the oil port to the said gas distribution company. At the time of the ban, passes had been issued to employees of the companies established there, to members of the pigeon shooting club, and possibly for the residents of the cliff.
