About the destination: Le Havre is a port city located at the mouth of the Seine River, on the English Channel in the Upper Normandy region of France.

Historically, Le Havre has always served as the harbor for Paris, with goods being transferred there between ocean-going vessels and barges that travel to Paris via the Seine River. Le Havre was heavily bombed during the Battle of Normandy. The town's reconstruction was led by August Perret, who used reinforced concrete. This project resulted in the city being added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The most significant places to visit in Le Havre include St. Joseph's Church, the Cathedrale Notre Dame, the Maison de l'Armateur, and the Town Hall, which is situated on one of the largest squares in France.

Notable artists include Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet, and Johan Jongkind.
