Commune in France
Le Havre is a major port in northern France's Normandy region, where the Seine River meets the English Channel.
It's joined to the city across the estuary, Honfleur, by the Pont de Normandie cable-stayed bridge. Following WWII, Le Havre's heavily damaged city center was famously redesigned by Belgian architect Auguste Perret. Today it features many landmark examples of reinforced-concrete architecture.

Is there any filipino in le havre?

Ah, poor, dear Le Havre, in her youth one of the radiant beauties of the French Channel coast; in her post-operative reconstruction a brutalist/functionalist mess of a place, so depressing and depressed-looking that not even a sunny day can relieve the gloom. It’s not Le Havre’s fault, after all its fate was visited on countless north European towns and cities around 1944, but what Mr Perret, - for ‘twas he who reconfigured this town with such a promising name (the haven; echoes of paradise?), - thought this town needed was a post-war makeover in the manner of every grim, grey, brutalist, godforsaken place behind the Iron Curtain? I walked out the station one day and spent the next hour searching desperately for relief from the Perret-created hell-scape. All in vain. Line after line, like so many massed Soviet troops, of relentless concrete. Yes, concrete, that wonder-material beloved of every brutalist/functionalist architect worth their salt. Even the sea at the end of the (tram) tracks seemed sad, forlorn, withdrawn, sighing daily for what once was. And it was. I’ve checked the old photos. However, on the upside, what Le Havre *does* have, is lovely, lively, often edgy people and a fast train to anywhere else.
