Un Été Au Havre is a contemporary art event in the public space, open to all, which every year invites artists from around the world to interpret the city of Le Havre in their own way.
Launched in 2017 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the founding of the city and its port, the event won over residents and visitors alike, who discovered or rediscovered the ocean city on that occasion. Acclaimed by the public, it has become a summer rendezvous with art, heritage and culture, renewed every year with new works on view from late June to mid-September.
