- FAQ
Le Havre was devastated during the Second World War. But it has since been rebuilt into a bustling and lively town with a thriving boat and yacht centre as well as being the largest foreign trade port in France. There is also a nice amount of sightseeing and shopping.
Much of the shopping is in the shape of street markets and shopping centres. The main shopping centre, with a covered market and pedestrian streets is the Quartier Grand Centre. In the Quartier St Francois you will find a fish market every afternoon in addition to charming bars and restaurants. If you are in Le Havre on other days, the Quartier Rond-Point is open Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings and is near the railway station.
Whilst Le Havre is a nice place to visit, we recommend that you also consider Honfleur as a side trip.
