Situated along the English Channel, the city of Le Havre was heavily bombed during World War II. It was rebuilt using reinforced concrete\u2014shaped, tinted, and decorated\u2014under the guidance of architect Auguste Perret. In 2005, Le Havre’s unique city centre was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its remarkable architecture. In recent years, Le Havre has embarked on a new transformation: reintroducing greenery into its mineral landscape and rebalancing the dialogue between architecture and nature.<\/p>\n

The city’s entrance landscape forms the first impression of the territory. For all municipalities, the city entrance is symbolic\u2014a passageway that welcomes and encourages visitors. In Le Havre, this notion holds particular significance: located at the tip of the Pays de Caux, the city has only one main entrance. The former National Route 15, spanning nearly three kilometres through the city, serves as its principal axis. After fifteen years of work, this road has undergone a radical transformation\u2014from an urban highway to a landscaped boulevard. Previously marked by large underground car tunnels, bridges, and interchanges where vehicles travelled at over 100 km\/h, this was not the image we wished to project for Le Havre.<\/p>\n
