Very unusual church built out of mostly concrete and glass. If it is a sunny day, the stained glass makes a beautiful job of colouring the concrete pillars. Fairly quiet when we visited on a Monday afternoon after lunch. Recommended as there cannot be too many churches that look like this!

A truly stunning building. From the outside it doesn't give away just how beautiful the glass is when you're inside. Well worth the walk a few minutes from the centre to view. There were also some interesting boards inside on the history of the area and building.

Beautiful serene with easy access for all. If you are in the area worth visiting just to see the spectacular building including interior.

You must visit this amazing church if you’re around! Fascinating architecture with symmetrical patterns.. lovely colors of the stain glass arts. Contemporary church which you can’t see anywhere else. 10 stars!

One of a kind. Really wanted to climb the spiral staircase that goes up the cylindrical dome with stained glasses all around that makes it look like an alien space shuttle. However, the gates were closed. I'm not sure if it's allowed to climb those stairs.

This is probably the most famous thing to see in Le Havre. It is a beautiful church with a very cool tower with stained glass all throughout it. We saw on the Internet that people climbed to the top of the tower. When we visited (on a Monday) the steps to the tower were locked. And there were actually no employees to ask. There was no fee to enter. The doors were just open.

Wonderful modern church rebuilt after the second world war.

Simply stunning. Monumental and brutalist, this church is a must see on a sunny day. Not only is it a good refuge from the heat, but also you see all the colour the windows have play on the wall

Not like the other churches you see in the world. Constructed with concrete. Stain glass windows have different tone of colors on different sides. The alter is in the centre of the church.

Lovely modern church based around a central altar which in turn sits beneath a tall tower covered in stained glass windows. The four sides of the tower primarily feature four different colours. The result is beautiful coloured light effects which change as the sun moves across the sky during the day.

Visiting this church was one of the greatest and most meaningful experiences of my life. The building is simply stunning - impossible to adequately capture in words. I lit a candle for my departed daughter. 10 years on but never forgotten.

Amazing architecture, beautiful glass work, free admission. Wonderful atmosphere, it doesn't look like a normal church because of its lack of religious artefacts. It feels very peaceful.

Looks unobtrusive from the outside, step into it though especially on a bright day and you are in for a treat

It was a quiet, sunny Thursday. I decided to catch a train and wander around Le Havre. This church caught my sight in the first place, and it was an honour to visit here. The rays light up the small glass window, which creates a breathtaking picture. I felt like I had entered another world that did not belong to this present—must-visit place, when you come to Le Havre.

Impressive, must see. Photos don't do it justice. There's also an interesting exhibition with historical photographs of Le Havre.

Gorgeous place, wonderful layout! Loads of incredible works. Cried my eyes out at some Manet. Very wheelchair friendly. First Saturday of the month is free!

Extremely unassuming from the outside; the building looks quite austere and unwelcoming. But, as they say, never judge a book by its cover. Inside, this modern art facility is fabulous, with an extremely varied mix of art representing several genres and eras across generations (and, indeed, centuries). From Manet to, indeed, Monet, French artists are expectedly well represented here, but there are plenty of other pieces on display from a myriad of artists to appreciate too. If a particular style isn't to your taking, you can be guarantee that around the next corner that there will feature something completely in contrast to what you just observed; if you cannot find anything to appreciate in the gallery, then perhaps art isn't for you! It's an extremely polished but relaxing atmosphere; the perfect location to stroke your chin and pretend to understand the paintings you're looking at. I mean, I don't need to pretend, as I know exactly what each and every painting represents; I am merely referring to the riff raff who bundle off of nearby cruise ships and go into the nearest venue for something to do. The fact I was on a cruise and would have never have otherwise visited this art gallery is purely coincidental! In all seriousness though, a brilliant gallery with a good number of staff and invigilators on hand to help. Very reasonable entry price too. I never used the café as it was too busy, but from a pure art and culture standpoint, fully recommend.

A great museum, awesome architecture and lively collection.

Lovely art collection including Monet, Matisse, Pissarro. Air conditioned. Cafe was ok but you have to eat to enjoy the view! And today it was very hot sitting drinking coffee in the corner…!

Both modern and traditional artwork. Free entry, it also has a cafe. Outside of the building in the breakwater are symbolic gold painted boulders.

The art gallery itself was well laid out over three floors. There was a cafe, bathrooms and a small shop. Air conditioning in the gallery was nice. As for the art, it's not really my thing.

Went here with nothing much else to do on a Sunday, but what an unexpected delight. 10 yr old daughter loved it (and free entry for under 18s). What a great collection. The temporary exhibition of Albert Marquet was incredibly well presented - blew me (and several others while I was there) away. Loved it

Very modern and well laid out. Several Monets along with excellent pieces by artists, with an emphasis on the local area. Small enough to do it justice in 2 hours or so.

An impressive collection of impressionist paintings which makes a part of Normandy’s impressionist collections. You can visit the museum and the temporary exposition in about one hour and a half.

A couple of months ago I went to most of the headline museums in Paris, but this is the best art museum I have visited in France this year. The core collection is made up of a lot of sketches and a few fully worked up paintings by local impressionist artist Eugene Boudin. There is a whole wall of sketches from along the nearby coast, plus another of really charming cow pictures. Alongside this is a collection of more and less well known late 19th and early 20th century names (including Renoir and Pissaro), but I thought many of the highlights were by artists I didn't recognise. There is one fabulous example of pointilism plus two genuinely magnificent busts of a man and woman from Sudan.

Lovely gallery although I am not sure what the definition of “modern” art is! Permanent collection was very nice to see although some pieces were 300 years old! A nice couple of hours spent wandering around.

Unexpectedly large collection of expressionist art, including Monet, Manet, Sisley, one Gaugin, one Degas, and a lot of works of locally-based maritime painter Boudin. 🌊😍 €7 entrance fee, totally worth it.

This place is extremely gorgeous! We loved being here.. perfect for picnics, walks and the likes. The garden houses themselves were closed, so was the cafe, but everything was beautiful. The garden houses open up this month so will be a little more busy but it's worth at least one visit.

Nice place to visit, we passed a good experiences !

The greenhouses, which can be visited for 2€, are truly exceptional, as are the outdoor gardens, particularly the rose garden! The tea room is lovely. I highly recommend this visit.

A great place to hike up to from the city centre. When you’re on a cruise make the effort to get a great bit of exercise on this approx 1.2mile walk uphill to gain some lovely views.

Great place for a walk even if you are not pasionare about flowers. Parking was free and the price for visiting the greenhouse was 2 euros (free for children under 12). The greenhouses were fun to see, and the whole park was beautiful. There is a cafee where you can get something to drink / eat. Defenetly something worth doing in Le Havre.

Incredible military architecture turned into an 'entire world in a garden'. So much to see, greenhouses, avenues, plants from every where. A climb up from le Havre- town but well worth a visit

So beautiful! Peaceful place with flowers from the the world!

From the cruise ship. Took shuttle to city square (first stop). Then take bus 5 to the gardens (if you take bus 4 it's a long walk up the hill at the last stop). Gardens is free to enter, and 2 euro to do the green houses. Worth it. Nice place to appreciate nature. You can do the entire garden in under 2 hours.

Lovely and peaceful gardens. Lots of benches to sit on to reflect and relax... probably even better in the spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom. Don't miss the Labyrinth!

We are delighted with the territory and the sea view. There are goats and sheep on the property.

Good place to stay. in the garden there is a nice oasis where you can drink something delicious among palm trees and greenery. The only negative is that the park closes at 18:30

One of the must see in Le Havre, beautifully mainteined, large amount of plants, great view to the city from the top. This garden is one of the best I have ever seen

very beautiful botanical garden/park build inside an old fortress and fantastic view over the city & the harbour of Le Havre. For me a "must visit" in Le Havre 👏

If you are not fluent in French do not waste your time. We were interested in at least getting to know the apartment built by the architect Perret. We arrived at the counter in the morning and the attendant told us that there was only time for the end of the day. We returned, bought our tickets with the same attendant and entered with a group accompanied by the guide who told us that the tour would be only in French. That's fine with us, since we wanted to see the apartment. But the guide told us that the tour would last about an hour. We found it odd to spend an hour visiting an apartment, but when she stopped in the courtyard to explain the whole story, we were embarrassed to understand and see nothing. Alright the tour was in French, after all, we were in France. The problem was the attendant knew that we did not speak the language and sell us the ticket anyway. We gave up the ride after ten minutes of history on the patio, we went to the attendent, who admitted his fault, but told us that he could do anything, not even refunded the ticket we had just bought.

Very interesting to see how they rebuild the city after WW2

Gives you a good impression of the way how people lived in the years after the war.

The only way to enter was with a guided tour and we were there at 10am, next tours were at 3.30 and 4:30.

Be warned, no tours in English

Super

nice

Decent museum. We were given an English guide to read on most of the artifacts. They are not in the order they are presented in the rooms so it can be hard to find them in the book. Truthfully, they’re not that interesting anyway. I don’t believe any of them are original. The only reason I’d go to the museum is to see the architecture. It’s a very unique polygonal design with a large central open air skylight flooding all of the floors in light from within. The room layouts on the floors make it easy to understand that the family that built this house was wealthy and influential in Le Havre. If you’re interested in architecture, I’d recommend this museum. Otherwise it may be slightly frustrating to gain any insight into daily life of the inhabitants and the artifacts aren’t overly interesting.

I didn't expect so much here, but I found amazingly well preserved rooms with fancy decorations and paintings from 18th and 19th centuries. This is one of those local museums in France where we are reminded that France has kept rich cultural heritage even after the devastation of the war here.

I wasn’t able to tour this location today as a walk in. Certain days are sold out to guided tours only and often those are in French. I would call ahead if you’re taking a stroll from your cruise ship to go see it. Also - there is a fairly strong odor even inside from the fresh fish market outside. 🤢

An enjoyable dockside museum with a focus on Le Havre art and history. Not too big although there are alot of stairs so people with mobility issues may have some difficulty. I was lucky enough to stumble into this gem and loved my experience there. My only major problem was, as someone who does not speak French, I was unfortunate enough to arrive on a day where the guide did not speak English. However, they had tablets that they passed out that were written in English so you could follow along with the group and get an idea of what was going on. Reasonably priced, not too long, informative, and a great place to visit if you have time to kill and curiosity to satisfy.

Nice little museum that can be visited in 1hr. Easily accessible by walking from the beach tram station or city hall. Worth a visit. Tells plenty of history about the individual life of a rich sailboat owner from the 18th century. No elevator in the museum, lot of stairs.

Sad that the visits are ONLY GUIDED TOUR. Enter the website to look for more info on this. We were not able to visit it.

Beautiful inside. You gotta see the "indoor lighthouse" if you love architecture. Great maps of old Le Havre. Not as blocked off as other museums.

Very interesting place. An incredible light well in the middle of the house with the rooms all around it. There are interesting exhibits to be seen, as is the house itself.

Impressive water fountains all around, well maintained gardens.

Wrong address

(Translated by Google) Pretty but fountain not working for the most part. (Original) Joli mais fontaine pas en fonction pour la plupart.

(Translated by Google) Same for forty-four years. That's my age! (Original) Pareil depuis quarante quatre ans. C est mon âge!

Not a classical cathedral but lots of history in it. It is worth visiting and read about it.

Just as the pictures, it's beautiful. Also close to the docks.

Amazing!

I came visit around 10 am on a weekday but it’s closed. Would recommend instead visiting st Josephs church because it’s more unique.

Interesting place to visit. Impressive that it was rebuilt after substantial damage from WWII.

Very nice Church I like it

One of the must-see spots on the map of Le Havre. Not by my count, but by that of Trip Advisor, a recommendation I won't contest, but only because there isn't that much to choose from to include on the top 10 list. Nice stained glass windows. 👌

Small restored cathedral. Not too impressive in stature.

Lovely to Visit.

On the smaller side compared to at Joseph’s, but non the less beautiful. Worth looking in as it is full of history

Amazing! Currently under renovations, but incredible how it has survived from the damages in WWII

Great church to see the effects of WWII. The pictures inside and the cathedral now show what a determined congregation can do to overcome adversity. The crucifix on display with shrapnel damage is moving. While the majority of the church were destroyed, the façade was left and rebuilt around. It may not be the most fancy church in France or Le Havre, but the crucifix is worth stopping to see.

Very beautiful sea shore! Place du Havre is a rocky beach that is connected to the Port. It is a very beautiful place, and the locals and tourists take advantage of the beach!

Lovely and large sandy beach! Beautiful and enough space for everyone!

Grimly stony, but the beauty cannot help but creep out. Many families were enjoying their visit.

Le Havre beach is a very lovely place for a walk (if does not rain😊). I enjoy the sunset on the beach of Le Havre. The cabins are installed from spring to the beginning of autumn.

Amazing view as always 😍 (even in the summer, even in the winter)

This beach has evolved nicely over the years, there seems to be something new to see / experience every year. It's so close to the town centre, there are many cafe's, restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Along the strip there are many eateries, all catering typically French meals or desserts at a reasonably price. There are play areas, a open air pool, skate park and small amusements to entertain the kids. For the most part, it is a pebble beach, however there is a small sandy section toward the end of the strip. The beach comes alive during the summer, atmosphere is vibrant in the evening. Recommended to visit if passing through Me Havre.

The beaches of Le Havre stretch along the city's western part, right by the center. There's a huge free parking lot along it. I found it a very pleasant place to walk, have a drink and take some photos, but I doubt I'd swim there even in peak summer season. The beach is of huge pebbles, difficult to walk on, I saw no sand by the sea.

Beautiful place to visit

Beautiful. We stayed just outside Le Havre, using it as a base to travel around Western Normandy (Etretat, Mont Saint Michel, etc.). We decided to have a look at what the Le Havre beach had to offer and were extremely and pleasantly surprised. Part of the width of the beach is rocky, which gives it a beautiful look, but once passing the rocks there is a massive sandy area and a seemingly calm ocean. A really nice spot to end the day and watch the sunset.

We had an amazing sunset on the clean and special beach. Just as all of Le Havre, this beach is special as well. There's lots of places to eat but you could just stroll along the waterfront or on the passenger only boulevard as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Pleasantly surprised with Le Havre including beach. Whilst it's very pebbly (bring suitable footwear) there are areas for young children to play in sandpits along with water fountains, parks and an outdoor swimming pool which was very affordable. Lovely little restaurants and cafes.

I’d prefer if there’s an outdoor patio or café so we can sit down in the fresh air and have fun!

Very beautiful, historical building/warehouse that has been turned into a shopping center. There are many clothing retailers, places for food and coffee, and a place for the kids to play while mom gets to shop!

One should give a whole day to it. The center is very big. Also saw food court, cinema, places to play for children.

Cinéma is very huge and film collection is very good as well

Absolutely brilliant spot to hangout and have some refreshments. Good shopping area decent crowd around . Large number of brand outlets.

If you are looking to combine shopping with lunch or dinner than this is the place to visit. Recommend 👌

Super cool location and very nicely set up and fpleted. Is not overcrowded and still has a larger offer.

Best place for Shopping and Eatery

Nice shopping centre with great views of the harbour. plenty of parking including EV chargers.

Loved this place , wish we had one like it in Australia . Fab brands and eateries

A very nice and big mall with a lot of stores of different profiles. Very nice atmosphere also, and very clean.

Fairly large shopping centre with plenty of different options

Small little shopping centre full of culture. Would recommend

Nice and clean place for shopping.

This is a nice shopping centre, plenty of loos. The shops are mostly the same as England, a few different ones, food places and coffee areas to sit. Seating if you just want to sit for a while.

Wonderful experience. The lighting, colors, spaces, and shapes allow for an amazing experience. Also nice to watch the sign language lessons and book readings being given. Definitely worth a visit.

It's so beautiful, clean, calm, and there's everything you wish for !!!

Love this place I always get books from there 💙👌

Beautiful library. Very nice people.

In love with the library

Tip top

Super

(Translated by Google) Cute little place but unfortunately not with little ones to eat on site the place is more and more degraded fires are everywhere, the tables burnt it's very sad..... (Original) Mignon petit endroit mais malheureusement pas avec des petits pour manger sur place l'endroit est de plus en plus dégradé des feu sont partout ,les tables Brûlé c'est bien triste .....

(Translated by Google) Very large park to do on foot or by bike. (Original) Parc très vaste à faire à pied ou à vélo.

(Translated by Google) Rouelle Park is a park where people can live. I recommend this park to have a picnic to have fun to relax to do the activities you want there is no one, no noise there is plenty of space to relax and listen to music or read or do whatever you want. In addition, it is not possible to have public fountains which allow you to drink for free. You can also walk your dog there. It's really a space dedicated to nature which allows you to recharge your batteries (what I find stupid is to see the police driving in the middle of the park) in short, I recommend this park. (Original) Le parc de rouelle est un parc où on y est bon à vivre. Je recommande ce parc pour faire un pique-nique pour s'amuser pour se détendre pour faire les activités que vous souhaitez il n'y a personne, pas de bruit il y a beaucoup d'espace pour se poser et écouter la musique ou lire ou faire ce que vous voulez. De plus c'est pas possible des fontaines publics qui permettent de boire gratuitement. Vous pouvez également y promener votre chien. C'est vraiment un espace dédié à la nature qui permet de se ressourcer ( ce que je trouve bête c'est de voir la police rouler en voiture en plein milieu du parc ) bref je recommande ce parc.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful park. Huge beautiful walk (Original) Tres beau parc .immense belle ballade

(Translated by Google) The park is very large with beautiful bodies of water and rivers. There are a lot of ducks and geese that will come to you if you have bread.

C'est très agréables pour se promener, courir ou faire du vélo. Il y a un grand parking gratuit pour se stationner et une fontaine d'eau juste à côté de ce parking.

As described. Shaped like a volcano 🌋, and presumably housing something really mysteriously contemporary. But, at the time of my visit, it was too mysterious to be revealed.

Was a bit disappointed. Very simple white building that hasn’t the form of 🌋 but nothing so special

This is located in the city centre. Created by oscar neymar... Good place to visit at le havre.

fantastic architecture. gives the city a modern flavor

Different style of architecture, cooler design..

Nice place. I guess it's a convention hall. There is a historical monument opposite this place.

It is a magnificent building I like it a lot

Nice place to visit

Popular space in the centre of le Havre

Very awesome and eye catching building..

A cute museum for a rainy day. Good option for families with little kids. All in French but they give you a booklet with the English version.

While staffed with very kind and helpful personnel, and in possession of interesting holdings, this is a very small museum. So tiny, in fact, that, as I understand it, instead of reserving part of their premises for their fixed collection and setting aside another for temporary exhibits, the museum only works on rotating temporary exhibits (personally, I think their two-story circular room could've been reserved for a small permanent exhibit). When planning your visit, it's therefore important to check what's currently on display, so that you don't get disappointed by a lack of that which you came there for (as we were). Moreover, the museum doesn't seem to strictly restrict itself of items of natural historical interest, encompassing, for example, many more historical documents and paintings as well as ethnographic artefacts then biological, geological or palaeontological specimens in their Australian exhibit - which was what turned out to be on display when we visited. This is a pity, as while we were expecting a museum of natural history (in which the region, moreover, is so rich), we actually ended up visiting a historical museum that not only described the (history of the) description of Australia's plant and animal life, but also the discovery of Australia itself. The only redeeming part of the exhibit, as far as our four-year-old son was concerned, was a single room which contained some basic educational activities for children - such as fishing fish from the sea in a model boat, pinpointing places on a world map, and completing the outline of Australia. All in all, we did spend some time here, but I think neither me nor my son were too enthusiastic about the experience - and this while from the website it seems the museum has a lot more to offer than we got to experience.

Good for a 20-30 min visit.

Cool to see local museum. Visit will be quick and 5€ is a good price. All description is in French so use the translate app to read it. I wish the wifi was free to use to make the app worth using but that was not the case. Plan ahead if you think the French descriptions are a deal breaker.

I just visited this Museum. There is good collection of Fossils, Meteorites and some instinct insects. There are monitors to enjoy things visually and the people are so friendly and helpful.

Kind of small museum but there are sometimes some exhibitions like the one we saw which were about bees and those are more engaging. Unfortunately, the museum is only in french( somebody commented that there might be some booklets in english but we didn’t know/think to ask for them). It might help to add english next to the photos. Either way, this museum is especially entertaining for children because it offers many engaging and learning activities for them.

Lovely experience. Too little time, too much to see

The room is very nice, the view of the canal is very pretty. The only problem we had was the shower head was leaking from the side which was a little annoying. The "AC" was a classic European "AC" the window does open so that was a life safer. But still hot
