Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage site in France, is a modernist city rebuilt after World War II by architect Auguste Perret. Known for its innovative concrete design, wide boulevards, and striking St. Joseph’s Church, it exemplifies 20th-century urban planning. This site offers a bold testament to post-war renewal and architectural vision.
