Nestled on the Normandy coast, 40 minutes from the impressive cliffs of Etretat, the city of Le Havre offers a rich tourist, artistic and cultural experience. Its history is marked by the influence of great architects such as Auguste Perret, responsible for rebuilding the city after the ravages of the Second World War, Oscar Niemeyer and Jean Nouvel. Le Havre's city center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. Among the must-see local sights, you can discover "Le Volcan", a venue dedicated to art and culture hosting numerous shows and events, "L'appartement témoin Perret" or "La Maison de l'Armateur", a house museum offering a glimpse of 18th-century bourgeois life. If you prefer more classical museums, you can visit the Natural History Museum, which traces the city's maritime past, or the MuMa, the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art, with its fine collections of Impressionist and contemporary art. To continue your stay in the heart of the Porte Océane, don't miss the Jardins Suspendus, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the port and the city, and plan a little iodine-filled escapade along Le Havre beach, accessible from the tramway terminus. The port of Le Havre and its new Docks district offer a lively experience, punctuated by entertainment facilities, bars and cafés. Just 400m from your appart'Hôtel, the Docks host the starting village of the famous "Transat Jacques Vabre" yacht race every two years.
