On the seafront of Le Havre, Myriam and Pierre sit in front of their café, taking in the stunning view of the English Channel. The retired couple from Orléans had fallen in love with the city’s atmosphere, architecture and stunning Saint-Joseph church during their visit last year. They are excited to return to explore Sainte-Adresse and the beach at Bout du monde this summer.
Mayor Édouard Philippe had mentioned during a recent presentation that historically, Le Havre received fewer visitors during the summer months compared to other times of the year. However, this has changed as tourists flock to the city for its contemporary urban art festival that transforms public spaces from June to September. This shift in tourism patterns is a positive development for the city and its economy as more visitors discover the beauty and charm of Le Havre during the summer months.
