On the quiet side
In a nutshell
don't hesitate if you're in the neighbourhood...
Bregman Says: Just a few miles north of Le Havre, on the coast, you'll find Étretat. Here you can take a stroll and admire the weirdly shaped cliffs.
Peter_P Says: The museum tells us how the bridge was build. At that time a revolutionary construction and therefor a story to tell...
sabsi Says: You might know this place from pictures. I saw pictures ages ago and always wanted to go there. It's as nice as on the pictures, it must be lovely when it's sunny. When we were there in December it was raining unfortunately. Even then it was crowded with tourists!!! Go...
Bus Station: Bus Station....hmmmm sounds fine
herzog63 Says: i arrived on the Ferry from England around 3:30-4:00 AM or so and I was just dead tired as I had been up since early the previous day and i didn't sleep at all on the ferry so I needed to find some place to sleep! Ahhh the guide book showed me where the bus station was so I...
Villages Hotel: A cheap bed in Le Havre
sabsi Says: Villages Hotel is in Le Havre South (Harfleur).A four bedded room with showers/WC/TV and breakfast cost something like 175 Francs (approx. 30 Euros) for the four of us. This place was really good value and cheaper than a hostel even. It's one of those Formule 1 type hotels...
From terminal to station (shuttle/taxi/walking)
ATLC Says: Have a look here: http://www.ferrybooker.com/ferry_port/le_havre.aspThere's a map there which shows the British Terminal and the train station.It should not be more than 1.5 kms (calculated via www.viamichelin.com) which is walkable if all else fails.Another website says...
sabsi Says: If you're travelling west from Le Havre make sure to go over the Pont du Normandie. It's a huge bridge! It's an amazing view when you approach it!!! It's unfortunately a toll bridge as well. It costs 33 Francs (approx. 5 Euros) to drive over it.
I came by car but I left for...
SURFIN7TH Says: I came by car but I left for England on this ferry. I love travelling by boat. It gives you a different perspective of your surroundings and there're no traffic lights.I spent a lot of time exploring the town by car. It took a little while to get used to the rules about...
I have used a car leaving from...
chinookch47 Says: I have used a car leaving from Caen on the way up to the North, before going to Le Havre, take a look at Hounfleur, you'll fall in love with this town, the harbour and downtown area are something. Check, you'll be surprised.
aemilys Says: For anyone who is interested, the port city of Le Havre which was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO for among other things "exploring the potential of concrete" is located in Haute Normandy in the Seine Martime department (76) and is 2 hours away from Paris by train...
SURFIN7TH Says: The water's caold in the winter. Stay on the boat.
Restaurants at Mont St. Michel
sabsi Says: All the restaurants and shops at Mont St. Michel looked like tourist traps. I don't know for sure but I'm sure they are really expensive!
sabsi Says: Whereever you go, whatever you do: Take an umbrella!
Peter_P Says: It's possible (and free) to cross the bridge on foot. After a steep climb, a few hundred meters, you have a beautiful view on the mouth of the Seine...Also the a look 'under' the bridge is worth it...
sabsi Says: Go to Mt. St. Michel! It's not far from Le Havre and absolutely worth every metre! The beach at Le Havre. Really nice stoney beach there. It must be gorgeous when it's not raining....
Watch the waves crash on the...
SURFIN7TH Says: Watch the waves crash on the sea wall at the port. I spent many hours watching waves crash on this wall protecting the boats. There always seemed to be a storm coming in when I was there. Sometimes the waves would crash completely over this wall so protect your camera.

pattyx Says: Go to the rocky beach and have a great time riding bumping cars ;-) You can even catch a ferry to England there. It's a dull city (completely rebuilt after the wwII so it's missing the usual, European historical part) yet I had a great time there... Sometimes the ugly...

A: Honfleur is certainly a most lovely little city and I am sure you could get a taxi from Le Havre although I have not idea of the cost. It is a very short distance (less...

There's nothing intersting in Le Havre itself. It's just an industrial port town. But there are some nice places in the vicinity. Don't miss the picturesque village of Honfleur. And you really need to...
