Le Havre Port Center, Container Art (Catène de Containers)

Highlight • Monument

The Catène of containers weighs a total of nearly 288 tons, and its highest point reaches 28.5 meters. The title, borrowed from the Latin word “catena”, also means “chain”. It should be seen as a nod to the technique used, inspired by Antoni Gaudi, but also to the use of containers in the “supply chain”.
This work benefited from the support of Vinci Construction and its subsidiary GTM Normandie Centre.

This museum at the entrance of the port looks right through "Le Signal" (a monumental concrete sculpture by Henri-Georges Adam) to the multicolored ballet of the container ships at sea. The museum now owns one of the largest Impressionist collections outside Paris.

"As an extension of the main axis of Avenue Foch, a large-scale sculpture composed of several interlocking rectangular shapes was erected on the beach. It forms a second gateway to the sea by being part of the symmetry of the Porte Océane real estate complex. Monumental but graceful, brilliant white with no perceptible surface structure, the sculpture stood out against a background of sea and sky. At low tide, it appeared firmly anchored in the pebble ground. , like an uncontrolled extension of the urban network; at high tide, the waves lapped at the base, making the sculpture appear like an absurd and austere form rising from the sea. In 2018, the sculpture was replaced by a new version in white concrete , of identical shape, which will become a permanent element of the site."

The Beach, Le Havre

Highlight • Monument

Although it is made up of pebbles, Le Havre beach is quite busy in summer thanks to its immediate proximity to the city.

The beach hosts a work of art called UP # 3. Initially designed to be ephemeral, this monumental sculpture seduced the inhabitants of Le Havre and the town hall decided to perpetuate the sculpture.

Ocean Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

Before arriving at the beach, the Porte Océane is designed as a real passage between the city and the sea. Completed in 1956, it also constitutes one of Auguste Perret's major contributions to Le Havre, inspired by his project for the wears Maillot in Paris (1931).
Promenade Des RégatesThe Porte Océane, made up of two 13-story towers and two low buildings, symbolically represents the gateway to the city for transatlantic ships from New York. A symbolic threshold between the maritime universe and the reconstructed city, the Porte Océane is, with the town hall square and the southern waterfront, one of the three monumental groups vertically punctuating the reconstruction triangle.
Parallel to the two towers, the buildings closing the esplanade to the west form a screen against the winds. They are connected to the towers by perpendicular buildings of the same height, forming a square square crossed in the middle by Avenue Foch.

An unmissable visit to the reconstructed city of Le Havre. It is a masterpiece by Auguste Perret with 6,500 stained glass windows displayed on imposing concrete walls. The Saint-Joseph Church remembers the victims of the bombings of the Second World War. Breathtaking architectural beauty!
