Le Havre is a major port in northern France's Normandy region, where the Seine River meets the English Channel. It's joined to the city across the estuary, Honfleur, by the Pont de Normandie cable-stayed bridge. Following WWII, Le Havre's heavily damaged city centre was famously redesigned by Belgian architect Auguste Perret. Today it features many landmark examples of reinforced-concrete architecture.
Hazy morning with a cool breeze whilst berthed in Le Havre.
Not much available on the list of excursions today and a very busy queue to join the shuttle bus into town, decided against a visit to the town, we have never found anything of huge interest to us to visit here and the concrete buildings can be a bit depressing. So it’s time again to take advantage of a quiet ship and to not do too much.
I knew shipping containers were useful for something
Quite good views over the town and lots of shipping in and out of the port, weather improved steadily during the day to reach a very pleasant evening. Sadly it’s also time to get on with the packing and sorting out ready for the end of the cruise.
