Port of Le Havre
About Le Havre, Guide and Tourist Attractions
(Le Havre, Normandy, France)




The port is a 10-minute trip by road from the town centre, where Le Havre's picturesque low skyline makes the sea visible from almost every street. Street markets add to the enchantment, while the main shopping area is around the pedestrianised streets of the Quartier Grande Centre.

There is a vast array of appealing cafés, restaurants and bars around town, but if you prefer a nice walk, a lazy stroll around town or a trip to the nearby beaches provide a good chance to stretch you legs and take in the scenery.
