April 2008 | Le Havre Cruise Ship Port |
Le Havre, first port at the entrance of the English Channel, is the largest city in the heart of Normandy, with 193 000 inhabitants. The Havre de Grace was founded in 1517 by king Francois the 1st because of the silting up of Honfleur and Harfleur ports situated in the bay of the Seine river. The town was enlarged in 1820 and 1852 by the setting back and then destruction of its ramparts. Thanks to 17th century military port, the commercial success with the West Indies in the 18th century and the emigration toward America in the 19th century, Le Havre developed rapidly and its population increased strongly. |
