Port of Le Havre
Le Havre, the gateway to Paris has become a marquee cruise port, thanks to its proximity to the French capital and thanks to its ideal position in the heart of Normandy. But Le Havre has its own highlights and the city is worth a visit for its own attractiveness which will be unveiled to the world thanks to a major event to come. In 2017, local people and visitors from all over the world will gather for events celebrating the 500th anniversary of the city's founding by King François 1er. From June to October 2017, the entire city will become the backdrop for a packed schedule of events aimed at the public including famous art works, temporary and permanent installations in public spaces, performing arts events, exhibitions, boating events, etc. There will be local, regional, national and international initiatives revolving around Greater Le Havre as a city and a seaport to celebrate Le Havre's first 500 years and open up new sights for the area.
