Le Havre is a city in the northwest region of France situated on the right bank of the mouth of the Seine River. It is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department and the Haute-Normandie region. The inhabitants of the city are called Havrais or Havraises. It is the most populous commune in the Haute-Normandie region and the largest sub-prefecture in France. It is also a bishop's see.
Le Havre is also used in the sense of "port". The city was first called Franciscopolis, in homage to King Francis I, who took the initiative to construct the city, in addition to Le Havre (or Le Hable) de Grâce, the latter term being derived from the chapel Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, which existed on the site before the city's founding.
The city was also dubbed the Porte Océane, or Door to the Ocean. Architecturally, this image has been revived through the "door" that forms the frame at either end of Fochs Avenue, which comes out of the sea. In population, Le Havre ranks second of the French ports, first of the cities in Normandy, and ranks second in the metro areas of Haute-Normandie.
Le Havre was honored with the Legion of Honor award on July 18, 1949.
UNESCO declared the city center of Le Havre a World Heritage Site on July 15, 2005, in honoring the "innovative utilization of concrete's potential." The 133-hectare space that represents, according to UNESCO, "an exceptional example of architecture and town planning of the post-war era," is one of the rare contemporary World Heritage Sites in Europe.
The Portsmouth – Le Havre ferry route has been saved after a French shipping company stepped in to run the service.
P&O Ferries operated the route for the last time in September last year and it had been feared that it would lead to its permanent closure.
The route is important for British holidaymakers travelling to Brittany, Normandy and destinations in the south of France and Spain.
But Paris-based LD Lines has stepped in and will operate the route.
LD Lines is operating one ferry on the route with a journey time of five and a half hours. .
The route was saved after a massive behind-the-scene effort by Portsmouth council and the port's management.
The only downside is that there will be fewer departures. P&O had been using two ferries and offering two daily departures from both ports.
