The city of Le Havre, on the English Channel in Normandy, was severely bombed during the Second World War. The destroyed area was rebuilt according to the plan of a team headed by Auguste Perret, from 1945 to 1964. In 2005, UNESCO added the Centre of Le Havre, rebuilt by August Perret, to its World Heritage list.

It is a major 20th century architectural project, original and innovative. August Perret managed to draw inspiration from classical tradition and from strong modern ideas. Le Havre is a unique city where the architecture is understandable, light and harmonious.
