Howard Posted July 9, 2018 Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 Any ideas for excursions at Le Havre? We have 2 kids (aged 8 & 13) so would like to avoid long coach trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neaxan Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Last time we were in that area was about 10 years ago - back then I didn't like Le Havre. I'd recommend Honfleur as a cute artsy town that isn't too far away (30 minutes). Rouen is also quite beautiful but already an hour away. Weather permitting you could just visit the "beach" La Plage du Havre. It's more pebbles than sand but has a few restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaya luvs to cruz Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I second Honfleur, a lovely, quaint town. If you're there on a Saturday, be sure to visit the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are headed to La Havre next August and looking for ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faith0828 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I just got off the Dutch and French Adventure cruise which had 2 days at Le Havre. We did one day trip into Paris (Paris Sightseeing without Lunch), but the 2nd day we did Rouen and really enjoyed both. Rouen is very pretty. There is an extremely old, beautiful church that you tour and then the guide takes you on a short walk along a beautiful historic road with lots of shops to the spot where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Take a look at that one too and don't rule out Paris because you have kids! They do stop halfway to a very clean, new gas station right on the highway for a bathroom break and with a few minutes to buy a quick snack to eat on the bus.

Howard Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Honfleur was lovely. Full of character! Cobbled streets with lots of little restaurants and shops. There was a carousel when we were there which the kids loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
