Detailed itinerary

1

This magnificent Inn dates from the 17th century: it was the residence of the Harbour navigator Michel Joseph Dubocage de Bléville during the 18th century.

2

This house-museum is a true testimony to the life of the 18th century in the region, unveiling the architecture, decoration and atmosphere of an old bourgeois house.

3

This superb cathedral was built in the 16th century, in place of an old wooden chapel.

4

Rather atypical, this sculpture, isn’t it? Consisting of two intertwined arches, the Catène du havre was built using containers, a true symbol in a port city as important as Le Havre.

5

The Quai des Abeilles, which runs along the outport, is the ideal place to observe and understand the importance of the port of Le Havre

6
Stop 6 Pass by

This is where you can find and admire some of the greatest Impressionist works in France, made by the biggest names

On your left is the huge marina of Le Havre, consisting of the Cove of Joinville and the Cove of Regates, which can accommodate up to 1200 boats close to the city center and the beach.

8

Yes, it's a church you see there! Surprising, atypical, unique, the Church of Saint Joseph really has something to amaze...

9

Le Havre is a city with a very special architecture, a port that is among the most important in France, but it is also a large beach on the Channel, which attracts many visitors each summer to swim or surf.

10

This beautiful church located a stone’s throw from the beach of Le Havre was built during the 19th century, in a neo-Romanesque style.

11

Today, this space has had many lives: in the 16th century, it was occupied by buildings that welcomed plague victims, then it will be abandoned for more than a century.

12

Auguste Perret is responsible for this vast avenue, one of the widest in Europe. Connecting the City Inn to the sea, it is a real walk along the tall modern buildings that border it.

13

Before talking about this emblematic square of the city center of Havre, let us remember, Le Havre is a city that was totally rebuilt after the Second World War

14

This set of green spaces decorated with fountains and water gardens is none other than the garden of the City Inn.

15

One of Le Havre’s squares had to be named after the talented figure who took charge of its reconstruction after the war!

16

Built in the late 1970s, this amazing structure is one of the main cultural spaces of the city.
