But did you know that 2017 is a very important year in particular for one very nice city in France? A city inscribed on the Unesco’s World Heritage list since 2005. A city localized in the Normandy region of northwestern France. A norman city situated on the right bank of the estuary of the river Seine (in front of Honfleur situated on the left bank of the estuary of the river Seine). This city is Le Havre !
Antoine RUFENACHT, our old Mayor in 2005 said that « The reconstruction of the city center of Le Havre was an exceptional accomplishment, considered by both historians and urbanists to be one of the most significant achievements of the 20th century. It is also among the greatest practical applications of European urban planning as it existed at the time… » that’s why in 2005 the UNESCO designate Le Havre in the Unesco’s World Heritage list.
