Editor's Choice: Le Havre Highlights

Le Havre's urban landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site, features a two-kilometer pebble beach and the geometric Jardins de l'Hôtel de Ville, designed by Auguste Perret. The 19th-century Fort de Sainte-Adresse now houses Les Jardins Suspendus, a 17-hectare botanical garden overlooking the Seine estuary. Cultural highlights include the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, set in an 18th-century courthouse, and the traditional fish market where local fishermen sell fresh catch on Fridays and Saturdays.
