Le Havre

Le Havre is a major port city in the Normandy region of northern France. The city was almost completely rebuilt after World War II, with a unique concrete architecture designed by Auguste Perret, resulting in the city centre becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city offers a mix of industrial and natural grandeur, with a remarkable feeling of space and light. Visitors can explore the Perret show flat, the impressive modern art museum, and the picturesque marina and beach. Le Havre is also the birthplace of Impressionism, where Claude Monet painted 'Impression, Sunrise' in 1872. The city has a large marina, a vast shingle beach, and a state-of-the-art aquatic centre, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
