Rebuilt by Auguste Perret and now UNESCO-listed, Le Havre leans modern and design-forward: contemporary four-stars, sea-view rooms and stylish boutiques rather than period palaces.
Where to stay in style
Stay near the seafront and the beach for views, or around the centre and the MuMa museum to be close to the architecture and the port.
When to book
Summer and event weekends are busiest. The city pairs well with Honfleur and Étretat for a coastal luxury trip.
