Heir to a history that led it to reinvent itself, the city embodies the laboratory of modern architecture in France. Since 2017 it has lived side by side with contemporary art through its artistic season, Un Été Au Havre. This summer rendezvous is the stage of a true transformation of the urban landscape: an open-air museum where contemporary artworks dress the streets of the city, to the delight of residents and visitors alike. Le Havre invites you to stroll and breathe the sea air, with the bonus of a succession of exceptional panoramas over the whole city centre and the beach from the heights. For lovers of idleness, a beach in the heart of the city will be the finest of surprises. So let yourself be tempted by a stopover of art and fresh water “made in LH”, in one of the trendiest cities of the moment!
