Le Havre : the city where the sea never sleeps !<\/span> <\/strong><\/h1>\n

One could think that they have to cross over top the Atlantic to be able to watch an impressive skyline and a modern architecture ? You couldn’t be more wrong ! No need to take the plane : Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage site offers amazing urban skylines and experiences ! It has nothing to envy to the Big Apple ! <\/h4>\n

Le Havre, between reconstruction and modernism<\/span> <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Le Havre has known an exceptional reconstruction under the guidance of Auguste Perret<\/strong>, master of concrete and modernism. This audacious urbanism, with straight lines, geometrical volumes and bright perspectives, enrolled the city for UNESCO World Heriatge in 2005.
\nOne strong architectural concept : modularity<\/strong>, thought to combine esthetic and fonctionnality, birthing a city humane and monumental ! <\/p>\n

Walk through the city and discover the white concrete<\/strong>, dialoguing with the changing bright light of the Sea Channel. This neighborhood is embodying an architectural lesson while having a striking ressemblance to the modern Manhattan. <\/p>\n

A Unique Skyline in Normandy<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

No, Le Havre doesn’t have the Empire State Building, but has something great too : the city Hall Tower.<\/strong> (72 meters high) and more importantly Saint Joseph church<\/strong>, a spiritual masterpiece 107 meters high. A true lighthouse inside the city, this concrete building is a tribute to verticality and american metropoles. <\/p>\n

A few minutes walk from the city, the Vauban Docks<\/strong>, former port warehouses rehabilitated as a shopping mall, are a living testimony of the industrial reconversion, reminding us of Brooklyn. <\/p>\n

The Sea Front : between the infiinite horizon and contemporary design<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Just like New York, Le Havre enjoys an emblematic sea front.<\/strong> The horizon is infinite and offers one of the best sport to wtach sunsets in Normandy ! <\/p>\n

A Cultural and Savioury Destination<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Le Havre isn’t only an architectural bet : it is also a vibrating and cultural city<\/strong>. Its MuMa museum<\/strong> offers one of the most impressive impresionnists collection in France, while the restaurants are honouring the seafood heritage. <\/p>\n
