The city of Le Havre was destroyed almost completely during WWII. After the war it had the bo rebuilt in very little time.
The french architect Perret made the design for the new city. He applied lots of repetition and lots of concrete.
Therefore the city is not loved by many. Tourist guides almost apologize when the town is adressed. But to my surprise that is not fair. Not at all. OK, we visited Le Havre on a very nice day but there's no denying that this city can be a pleasure to live in. I really enjoyed our short stay. Fortunately I'm not alone. Le Havre is the first post-WWII city on the Unesco World Heritage list.....
