The city is known for its changeable skies: it&#8217;s not unusual to see a succession of showers and sunny spells in the same day. Westerly winds are frequent and can make temperatures feel cooler than they actually are.<\/p>\n\n<p>We advise you to bring warm clothing and a waterproof windbreaker. As for the umbrella, it may not be able to withstand the gusts from Le Havre! Despite its rainy reputation, the city is far from being the wettest in France. Sunny days are still quite possible in December and January.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-FRS98GS\/1\/cb7d5093\/L\/i-FRS98GS-L.jpg\" alt=\"the container catena\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Container Catena<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#d9e3de;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#d9e3de\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">OUR ADVICE FOR <span>RENTING A CAR<\/span> IN<span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\"> Normandy<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:14px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211; one of the best rated sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a <strong>car that is comfortable enough <\/strong>(distances can be long) but <strong>compact<\/strong> (some parking lots and villages are narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remember to take out<strong>comprehensive insurance<\/strong> (some roads are winding and narrow).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is a lot of demand, <strong>book it early<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column planif-radius-2 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full voiture_image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7241\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328.png 421w, https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Yport_Normandie-3328-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns planif_bouton is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/fr\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" style=\"border-radius:4px;font-size:14px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See available cars  <strong>   <\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3266 img_fleche\" style=\"width: 16px;  \" src=\"https:\/\/corsicalovers.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ArrowRight.png\" alt=\"arrow\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/renting-car-france-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See all our tips<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do in Le Havre in winter<\/h2>\n\n<p>Le Havre offers <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/best-things-do-le-havre-normandy\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7619\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a wide range of winter activities<\/a>, even <a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/le-havre-with-children-activities-kid-friendly\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"15826\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for children<\/a>.

We recommend strolling along <strong>Rue de Paris<\/strong>, which links the waterfront to the H\u00f4tel de Ville, to appreciate the coherence of this unique architectural ensemble. The wide, regularly laid avenues and reinforced concrete buildings in a variety of shades &#8211; rough, brushed, pink &#8211; make up an urban landscape that&#8217;s well worth a closer look.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-RKkWB9q\/0\/f4b48ecb\/L\/i-RKkWB9q-L.jpg\" alt=\"Le Havre in winter - Discover Perret architecture and UNESCO heritage\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>To find out more, visit the<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-appartement-temoin-perret-le-havre\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"15605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perret show apartment<\/a><\/strong>which faithfully recreates the interior proposed to the people of Le Havre during the reconstruction.

We recommend visiting on a sunny day to fully appreciate the effect.

Its largely glass architecture, facing the entrance to the port, lets the Normandy skies flow directly into the exhibition rooms. We were particularly struck by the changing light on the Impressionist and Fauvist collections: Monet, Boudin, Dufy&#8230; all painters inspired by Le Havre.

In winter, the promenade takes on a special character: the wind blows, the sea is often rough, and the urban sculptures stand out against a low, dramatic sky. Three works mark the route: Vincent Ganivet&#8217;s <strong>Cat\u00e8ne de conteneurs<\/strong> (21 colorful containers erected for the town&#8217;s 500th anniversary in 2017), Fabien M\u00e9relle&#8217;s statue <strong>&#8220;Jusqu&#8217;au bout du monde&#8221;<\/strong> at the end of the marina breakwater, and the <strong>UP3<\/strong> installation by Swiss-American duo L\/B, whose play of light and shadow varies according to the season.<\/p>\n\n<p>Further on, the<strong>regatta pier<\/strong> reminds us that this same landscape inspired Monet, Marquet and Raoul Dufy. We return every time we visit.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/France\/Le-Havre\/i-hz4csJN\/5\/99235ab5\/L\/Le%20Havre%20france-L.jpg\" alt=\"The regatta pier\" title=\"Things to do in Le Havre - art\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shopping at the Halles Couvertes<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Le Havre&#8217;s covered market (halles couvertes<\/strong> ) is home to 22 top-quality food shops: butchers, fishmongers, cheesemongers selling Normandy PDO cheeses, spice merchants&#8230; In winter, the place takes on the air of a gourmet refuge. We&#8217;d also recommend a visit to the surrounding area: <strong>Boulangerie Portier<\/strong>&#8216;s Checa bread, <strong>Maison Auzou<\/strong>&#8216;s cocoa-flavored chocolates, and <strong>Hautot&#8217;<\/strong>s pastries. On Sundays, a farmers&#8217; market completes the offer. For coffee, the<strong>Ombra Coffee Roaster<\/strong> offers specialty coffees in an elegant setting.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-9XFLDTW\/0\/635f1646\/L\/i-9XFLDTW-L.jpg\" alt=\"Le Havre in winter - Shopping at the halles couvertes\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit the port by speedboat<\/h3>\n\n<p>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/normandielovers.fr\/en\/visit-port-du-havre-boat-seine\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"15621\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outing to the port of Le Havre<\/a><\/strong> is available in winter, offering a breathtaking view of one of Europe&#8217;s largest ports. Departing from the marina, the tour lasts 1h30 and takes you along the breakwaters, into <strong>Port 2000<\/strong> &#8211; the container terminal &#8211; and on to the cruise terminal.

Spread over 17 hectares, the <strong>3,700 varietal species<\/strong>, grouped by continent, make up a botanical trail that has been awarded the &#8220;remarkable garden&#8221; label. In winter, the vegetation is less lush than in spring, but the height and panorama are still breathtaking. We particularly appreciate the peace and quiet and the unique view over the city. Note that the tearoom and artistic activities are more accessible in spring and summer.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/France\/Le-Havre\/i-PQ5TSCq\/5\/82193efc\/L\/IMG_1798-L.jpg\" alt=\"Le Havre in winter - Visit the Hanging Gardens\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#d1e3db;margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\"><span>HAVE FUN<\/span> WITH THESE <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">activities <\/span> in Normandy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list ul_box\">\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manawa.com\/en-GB\/activity\/france\/le-havre\/helicopter-tours\/helicopter-flight-in-le-havre-normandy\/10688?_cid=790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Helicopter flight<\/a> over the cliffs of the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Alb\u00e2tre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/en\/billets-labbaye-du-mont-saint-michel-l145867\/?partner=region_lovers&amp;tq_campaign=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Book your time<\/a> to visit Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manawa.com\/en-GB\/activity\/france\/mont-saint-michel\/microlight-flying\/microlight-flight-over-the-mont-saint-michel-bay-in-normandy\/5529?_cid=790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Take a microlight flight over<\/a> Mont-Saint-Michel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:14px\">Climb the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manawa.com\/en-GB\/activity\/france\/clecy\/via-ferrata\/via-ferrata-of-clecy-in-normandy\/7014?_cid=790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Via Ferrata<\/a> in Switzerland Normandy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column ville-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:42%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-nQJth6s\/0\/a3a935fb\/S\/i-nQJth6s-S.jpg\" alt=\"Helicopter in Normandy\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Le Havre<\/h2>\n\n<p>Le Havre is well connected to Paris and other major French cities:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>By train:<\/strong> Le Havre station can be reached from Paris Saint-Lazare in around 2 hours.

We particularly appreciate the transformation of the city center in December: the main avenues are lit up and the local shops take on a warm atmosphere.
