Le Havre

❤Recommendation reason: Le Havre is an important port city in the Normandy region of France, located at the estuary of the Seine River and bordering the English Channel. 🌟Highlights: Le Havre was almost completely destroyed during the Normandy Landings in 1944. After the war, it was rebuilt by the famous architect Auguste Perret and became a model of modernist urban planning. In 2005, its city center was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, hailed as "an outstanding example of post-war urban reconstruction." 👍Most Recommended: [○] St. Joseph’s Church Perret's masterpiece, the 107-meter-high lighthouse-style bell tower symbolizes rebirth, and the stained glass creates a stunning light and shadow effect. [○] Malraux Museum It houses a large collection of Impressionist paintings (Monet, Renoir, etc.) because Le Havre is the hometown of Impressionist painter Monet (his famous work "Impression, Sunrise" depicts the port here). [○] Volcano Cultural Center Designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, the white concrete building, shaped like a volcano, is a cultural landmark of the city.
