I visited Le Havre as a day trip from Paris on a hot summer day during the EURO 2016, as a distraction after watching a poor performance by the Austrian team. It is a very pleasant city with many parks and a beach, and the WH part can be explored in a short walk. During WW II, Le Havre was an important port for the Germans, and thus regularly bombed by the Allies. After the war, it was rebuilt according to a master plan by Auguste Perret, also known as the mentor and teacher of Le Corbusier. The only buildings designed by Perret himself are the town hall (impressive from the outside, but I did not enter it) and the Church of St. Joseph with its large tower, known as the symbol of Le Havre. It is actually quiet nice inside, although the outside looks like it was designed by the same architect as the Palace of Culture in Warsaw. The 15th-century cathedral also makes for an interesting visit, as it is one of the very few buildings to have survived the air raids. I also did an interesting harbour cruise and so spent an enjoyable day in this city, even though I still have some doubts about the WH value.
