Le Havre (Paris), France Port Reviews

Pleasantly surprised by le Havre. If you know beforehand that it is a 'concrete' town you can see the beauty in all the concrete. We walked around, visiting the cathedral and the St. Joseph church (two very different buildings!), les halles (covered market), the library etc. We also visited the appartement témoin Perret. We arrived to the museum late in the day so there was only a French tour left. If you go earlier in the day there are probably English tours. Well worth it to hear the story about Le Havre and the rebuild by architect Perret.

We only went in and saw Paris from the bus and stopped at the Eiffel Tower but Paris is amazing!! Certainly want to go back to see it to be able to stop at everything. Also we found the Parisians very nice and welcoming.

Took trip to Juno centre, Normandy and a Canadian war cemetery. Very moving.. lots to be thankful..

went to Paris

The D-Day excursion was excellent!

We took an excursion to Honfleur which was a lovely little fishing village with quaint shops and restaurants. A trip to Paris was available but it is far away and so a long ride.

Did not do any tours, shuttle bus was very expensive, so walked into centre and walked for miles along promenade.

Colorful Honfleur excursion ... guide (David) was excellent and had the patience of a saint with people who had not read the description and should not have been on the excursion. Would have liked more free time to explore.

It was very moving to go to Normandy. Standing on Omaha beach was a surreal experience.

Fresh french bread and racing sail boats.
