Rank : 7.0 (average on 1 votes)Coordinates : 49.49502595823122, 0.10286924728893354 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : In Le Havre there is no shortage of photographic subjects: the modern lines of the UNESCO center designed by Perret, the majestic church of Saint-Joseph with its colorful tower-lantern, the reflections of the Bassin du Commerce, the futuristic Volcan by Niemeyer, the installations of Un Été au Havre, the beach with the sunset over the ocean, the Pont de Normandie overlooking the estuary, the Jardins Suspendus with a view of the city, the port with ships and cranes illuminated at night. In addition to these, street photography, nature, landscape, macro (especially on the beach and in the gardens)Recommended equipment : From wide-angle to medium-long tele. A good all-rounder zoom (24-120mm) is a solution for traveling light.Best months : Le Havre, in Normandy, has an oceanic climate: mild summers, cool winters and rainfall spread throughout the year. May – September ? the best time: temperatures between 18-24 °C, many hours of daylight and the possibility to enjoy the beach, the port and excursions to Étretat and Honfleur. July and August are the hottest, but also the most crowded. April – May and September – October ? Excellent if you are looking for fewer tourists and lower prices, with still pleasant weather. (watch out for the wind!)Winter (November – February) ? cooler, windier and rainier; interesting if you like the port atmosphere, museums (such as MuMa) or Christmas markets, but not ideal for outdoor life (I report here too the icy wind that comes from the UK)How to get there : By train from Paris: the most convenient solution. Is there a direct SNCF train from Paris Saint-Lazare? Le Havre (about 2h 15'). By car from Paris: about 2h – 2h30, following the A13 to Caen/Rouen, then the A131.from Rouen: about 1h.from Caen: about 1h15. By bus several companies (FlixBus, BlaBlaCar Bus) connect Paris and other cities with Le Havre. (I personally advise against it!)Duration: 2h30 – 3h from Paris, often cheaper than the train. By plane nearest airports: Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Paris Orly (ORY) then by train or bus (total approx. 3h).Visits : The entire city, neighborhoods, churches, and architecture are ticket-free. Admission to MuMa costs around €10 in the summer, €7 the rest of the year. However, check the website because sometimes there are free exhibitions.Notes : | | Nearby:   Etretat 25 km
