The city itself was almost entirely rebuilt after WWII by architect Auguste Perret, and the concrete apartment blocks and churches earned UNESCO status for their cohesive modernist design. Saint-Joseph Church, with its 107-metre tower, is the standout building. The port area has shuttles running to the city centre. Honfleur, across the Seine estuary, is about 30 minutes by bus and has a 17th-century harbour basin, timber-framed houses, and cobbled streets. The cliffs at Étretat, further along the coast, have dramatic natural arches and are popular for walking. Rouen, about 90 minutes away, has its medieval half-timbered old town and the Cathédrale Notre-Dame that Monet painted repeatedly. For food, try mussels marinières and tarte aux pommes. The currency is the euro. ## Your day in Le Havre Ships berth at Pointe de Floride about 2.5 km from the centre; most lines run a paid shuttle to town, or you can walk the flat dock route. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Quai Pierre Callet / Terminal 2 (49.48076, 0.10687) - **Shuttle stop** (49.49135, 0.10755) - **Train to Paris & Rouen**: Gare du Havre, 18 min walk (49.49278, 0.12528) - **Coach to Honfleur**: Le Havre bus station, 18 min walk (49.49236, 0.12545) Walking times from the shuttle stop: - Within 15 min: St. Joseph's Church, Reconstructed City Centre, MuMa, Le Havre Town Hall, Maison de l'Armateur, Le Volcan Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/73953e14-0521-4217-8fe0-7ecd853e35a8.geojson) ### What to see #### St. Joseph's Church Perret church from 1957 with a 107 m tower and coloured glass inside. 7 min walk.
