Le Havre, carte postale estivale
La ville du havre située en Normandie, discrete et paisible, se classe dans le top 20 des villes françaises où il fait bon vivre. Lourdement bombardée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle profite à sa reconstruction d'une architecture atypique signée Auguste Perret qui la classe au patrimoine de Unesco. Sa plage d'un abord moins agréable que ses homologues normandes a su devenir attractive en développant des activités de restauration et de divertissements ( jeux pour enfants, sports nautiques...).
Son port est l'un des plus importants de France, véritable porte vers l'Europe et ses docks plus fréquentés depuis la construction d'un grand centre commercial et d'une salle de spectacle/sport (les Docks Oceanes) attirent beaucoup d'havrais(e)s. La ville du Havre rayonne également par l' Art présent dans ses rues à l'instar de "La Catène de Containers" ou encore l'oeuvre UP#3 installées initialement lors des 500 ans du Havre en 2017 dans le cadre d'une exposition temporaire, mais qui ont été conservé et ont désormais pris une place forte dans l'environnement Havrais. Le sport est également bien à l'honneur et compte toujours sur ses 3 équipes historiques en grande division (Football, Handball féminin, basket masculin).
Le Havre, summer postcard
The discreet and peaceful port city of Le Havre, located in Normandy, ranks among the top 20 French cities in terms of quality of life. Heavily bombed during World War II, it benefited from its reconstruction with atypical architecture designed by Auguste Perret, which earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. Its beach, which is less pleasant than its Norman counterparts, has become attractive thanks to the development of restaurants and entertainment (children's games, water sports, etc.). Overlooking the city from a height of 107 meters, the concrete Church of Saint Joseph pays tribute to those who died in World War II and is a central point in the history of the city's reconstruction.
Its port is one of the most important in France, a true gateway to Europe, and its docks, which have been busier since the construction of a large shopping center and a theater/sports hall (Les Docks Océanes), attract many Le Havre residents. The city of Le Havre also shines through the art present in its streets, such as “La Catène de Containers” and the UP#3 artwork, which were initially installed during Le Havre's 500th anniversary as part of a temporary exhibition but have been preserved and now occupy a prominent place in the city's environment. Sport also plays an important role, with the city still boasting three historic teams in the top divisions (football, women's handball, and men's basketball)
