Le Havre trip planner

Le Havre is a port city at the mouth of the Seine, on the English Channel in Upper Normandy. Le Havre was heavily bombed during the Battle of Normandy in the Second World War. Many historic buildings were lost as a result. After the war, the centre was rebuilt in modernist style by Auguste Perret. UNESCO declared the city centre of Le Havre a World Heritage Site to honor the \"innovative utilisation of concrete's potential\" and called it \"an exceptional example of architecture and town planning of the post-war era,\" making it one of the rare contemporary World Heritage Sites in Europe.
