What to expect
Download the app before you arrive and you're set. As you walk, the audio triggers automatically when you near each point of interest, guiding you through Le Havre's layers: the Renaissance origins, the destruction and rebuilding of the 1940s, and the bold modernist vision that shaped the city's second life. You'll move between well-trodden monuments and quieter corners locals know well. The narration supplies historical context and architectural detail without feeling rushed. Pace is entirely yours—pause at a café, loop back to a street you liked, or press on faster if you prefer.
Good to know
Museum of Modern Art entry isn't included; buy tickets separately if interested. Public transport runs nearby if legs need a rest. Flat terrain makes it accessible for most abilities. Download offline first; connectivity isn't essential once the app is loaded.
