1. Abbaye de Graville

4.5 based on 51 reviews
"You must climb the hill, crossing over the shadowy terraces with their yew and boxwood hedges, to reach Graville Abbey and appreciate its size, while feeling the wind coming off the channel and enjoying an unrivalled view over the city of Le Havre. Guillaume Malet de Graville, a companion of William the Conqueror, gave the site all of its grandeur after returning victoriously from the Battle of Hastings. The church that he built has the characteristics of Norman Romanesque architecture, with the exception of the Gothic choir. The conventual buildings (12th to 18th centuries), now a national museum, house one of the finest collections of mediaeval statuary in Normandy. Stone pieces, paintings, engravings and a variety of other ornaments and an astounding collection of more than 150 scale-model houses (1896-1936) complete the collection. In the gardens, a monumental statue of the Madonna and Child, known as the “Black Madonna”, is a popular site for prayer." - www.abbayes-normandie.com

A huge square in the centre of Le Havre which allows you to see the Yoghurt Pot structure at a distance. Plenty of pavement coffee shops to sit and enjoy a drink and watch the world go by.
