THE CITY

Le Havre was founded in 1517 by king Francois the 1st and has replaced Seine harbours that were silting up. An international trading place since it was created, Le Havre is now a great maritime and port city open onto the world. Bathed in the special light of the Seine estuary which was so inspirational for the Impressionists, is full of contrasts and emotions. It is also a starting point to visit Normandy , either along the "Alabaster Coast" to Etretat and Fécamp or across the Normandy Bridge to Honfleur, Deauville and Cabourg. Due to the unique location of the city centre on the seaside, life in Le Havre is punctuated by all kinds of water sports and activities : swimming, sailing, boat rides.
