Best of Le Havre
Quick Facts
Explore Le Havre's UNESCO World Heritage city center with this comprehensive walking tour through France's most remarkable example of post-war modernist architecture. Begin at the monumental City Hall designed by Auguste Perret, then discover Oscar Niemeyer's stunning volcanic library before visiting the historic Notre-Dame Cathedral—one of few buildings to survive the 1944 bombing. Marvel at the colorful Container Chain sculpture near the port, experience the transcendent stained-glass interior of Saint Joseph's Church, and stroll Europe's widest avenue before relaxing on the pebble beach. Important: Oscar Niemeyer Library is closed on Mondays. Saint Joseph's Church may have limited access during Saturday evening and Sunday morning services. All attractions are free to enter. Total walking distance is approximately 3.7 km.
