A must-see destination in Seine-Maritime, Le Havre is famous for its port. But beyond the latter, Le Havre has many wonders to discover, as much on the cultural level as on the natural, gourmet and historical level. Let's go !

Listed in 2005 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the modernity of its construction, Le Havre, destroyed during the Second World War, has since taken its revenge. First city in Normandy in terms of population, this metropolis is full of places to visit, amazing sites to get lost in, and leisure ideas to discover during a stay with family, friends or as a couple. In the department of Seine-Maritime, Le Havre is located at the southwestern tip of the Pays de Caux, and occupies the site of the Seine estuary. Founded in 1517 by King François I along with its port, Le Havre is home to many splendid buildings classified as historical monuments. In the heart of this City of Art and History, you will have the leisure to get lost to contemplate at the bend of a street the abbey of Graville, the oldest building of Le Havre still standing at the present time. The medieval chapel Saint-Michel d'Ingouville, but also the Notre-Dame and Saint-François districts with the church of the Immaculate Conception, the Notre-Dame du Havre cathedral, the Sait-Franois church or the Dubocage de Bléville hotel and the shipowner's house are worth seeing. Here, it is impossible not to see that the constructions testify to the strong link of Le Havre with the sea and the maritime history. The Fort of Tourneville, but also the maritime villa, the hanging gardens and the Vauban docks in particular are a good example. But the most astonishing work of Le Havre is certainly the Volcan: imagined by Oscar Niemeyer, this cultural center opened in 1982 is THE meeting point of culture thanks to its theaters which gather many amateurs of music, theater, dance, circus and new aesthetics every year.

Not to miss anything in Le Havre? We advise you, during the day as well as at nightfall, to climb to the 17th floor of the City Hall tower to appreciate from the heights a breathtaking panorama on Le Havre! You will discover the avenue Foch, the two towers of the Porte Océane, the lantern tower of the Saint-Joseph church, the Montgeon forest, the Rouelles park, all this with a view on the sea!

Ah, the sea... Right at the end of the tramway line, the sea is without a doubt THE star of Le Havre. At 800 meters from the city center, it is decorated with its most beautiful colors when the sunny days come thanks to small colored bathing cabins. You will be able to canoe, paddle, kitesurf, and enjoy the calm of its waters to swim in complete peace! Finally, it is impossible to visit Le Havre (on foot or by bike, by the way!) without stopping by its port. As one of the largest commercial ports in Europe, you can discover it on foot, by mountain bike, by car or by boat, depending on your wishes! The staircase circuit, the Impressionist itinerary, Les Bains des Docks and the walking routes along the estuary will complete your discovery.
