=== To get to le Havre ===

'''Train'''

The train costs 28€ for one way from '''[[Paris]]''' (Saint-Lazare Station) if you have no reductions. You can save money if you take a return and spend the night of Saturday before returning (around 36-42 € with the return).

The station is close to the town center.

All trains go by '''[[Rouen]]''', so you can make a stop at that beautiful city.

If you are in '''[[Lower-Normandy]]''', it's very difficult to go by train because you must go to '''Rouen''' or '''Paris''' before arriving to '''Le Havre'''. Prefer the '''coach''' (see down)


'''Boat''' 

Ferries from '''[[Portsmouth]]''' (25€ - one way) and '''[[Newhaven]]''' (25€ - one way)

=== How to circulate in the City ? ===

'''Bus'''

- In Le Havre and its agglomeration ('''[http://www.agglo-lehavre.fr/ website of the agglomeration]'''), '''Bus Océane''' is in charge of the bus. But it's very difficult to have a bus after 10:00 PM !

Prefer the "1-week ticket" (a day to the Sunday of the same week - 11,50€) or the "1-day ticket" (3,30€) : if you buy your ticket on the bus, it costs 1,50€ for 1 hour.

'''[http://www.bus-oceane.com/ Bus Océane website]'''

- It's possible to go to cities like Fécamp or Étretat with '''CNA''' or '''Autocars Gris''' (ACG)

'''[http://www.mobiregion.net/ CNA Website]'''

No website for Autocars Gris (?)


'''Train'''

There is an urbain train called '''LER'''. It's between Le Havre Station and Harfleur, Montivilliers and Rolleville. '''Bus Océane''' is in charge of this train too. So it's the same prices.


'''Bicycle'''

You can rent a bicycle or a twin with '''Vélocéane''' 

Bicycle : 2€ for 2 hours, 3€ for half a day, 5€ for a day

Twin : 3€ for 2 hours, 4€ for half a day, 7€ for a day

'''Foot'''

The best for seeing the city ! Only one car-free zone (arround rue Victor Hugo) but large sidewalks and walk on the seefront.
