Razed to the ground by British bombers in 1944, the city centre has been totally rebuilt. The statistics are staggering: 150 hectares, 12,000 homes and, in the end, an exceptional ensemble that is coherent and consistent was eventually included on the World Heritage list.
Of course, the visitor shouldn’t expect to see ancient stone buildings! The heritage here is a shared one that is living and current. Le Havre is a symbol. It’s impossible not to be moved by the charm of a city that proudly displays its difference and atypical style.
