Le Havre 🏖️, a hidden artist destination in Normandy, France
“Le Havre belongs to the Normandy district of northwestern France
Everyone considers it a transit station ~ because you can go to Elephant Trunk Coast🤪
But what was unexpected was that there were actually quite a few artworks
It is a city full of modernity😌
🚄It takes 2 hours and 30 minutes from Paris to Le Havre
Most of Le Havre’s attractions are walk-based
A day trip here is perfect~
