Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Reconstructed Modernist Masterpiece
Le Havre's city centre was entirely rebuilt after wartime destruction under the direction of architect Auguste Perret, an achievement now inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The camera captures the rigorous geometry of reinforced-concrete facades that define this unique urban landscape.
The Bassin du Commerce
The Bassin du Commerce is a tranquil rectangular basin ringed by promenades and footbridges. Pleasure boats and pontoons dot the water, and the striking white Signal obelisk marks its axis, a contemporary counterpoint to the historic quays.
Landmark Architecture
Dominating the skyline, the octagonal lantern tower of Saint-Joseph Church soars above the rooftops, while the curved white shells of Le Volcan, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, house the city's cultural centre and library.
A Living Maritime City
As one of France's foremost Channel ports, Le Havre blends bold architecture with a working waterfront. This vantage over the basin offers a sweeping perspective on the city where the Seine meets the sea.
