The Église St Joseph stands proud in the centre of reconstructed Le Havre. The steeple rises like a lighthouse visible from land and sea. I would highly recommend visiting the interior particularly later in the day as the sun descends in the sky and light plays on the stained glass and colors the airy concrete structure.
3. Musee d’art Moderne Andre Malraux - MuMa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 911 reviews
The first thing you notice about the Musée d'art moderne André Malraux-MuMa Le Havre is its breathtaking coastal setting. As you approach the spacious, light-filled museum building, Henri-Georges Adam's monumental concrete sculpture The Signal heightens the experience, framing a slice of the maritime landscape that inspired many of the works in the museum's collections. Le Havre has nurtured artists like Monet, Dubuffet, Friesz, Dufy and Braque. And MuMa is a pillar of the city's art history. Inaugurated in 1961 by André Malraux, then France's Minister of Cultural Affairs, MuMa is known for its late-19th and 20th-century collections. From the Impressionists to the Fauves, the museum's collections have been enriched by gifts such as works from the studio of Eugène Boudin and the Marande donation. More recently, Hélène Senn-Foulds donated an impressive collection built up by her grandfather, Olivier Senn, in the early 20th century. Thanks to the donation, MuMa's collection of Impressionist works is today one of France's largest, and the public can now enjoy works by Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas, Courbet and Corot.

The botanical gardens of Le Havre, founded only in 2000, are formed within the old 19th century Vauban-style fort high above the city. There are great views of the city and docks and across the Seine estuary from the ramparts. The gardens are set out to demonstrate different plants from across the world, either in open beds or within a series of glasshouses with, for example, wonderful cacti, exotic tropical plants and orchids of all shapes and descriptions. There are experimental flower beds where the City tries out planting schemes for its parks and borders in town. Everything is labelled for the serious botanists, but this place can be enjoyed by everybody just as a park or somewhere for the kids to rush around.
