==History of Le Havre==


More informations about the History of Le Havre on the [[wikipedia:Le Havre]] !

==Transport==

===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.

'''[http://www.voyages-sncf.com/ SNCF website]'''

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)

Shuttle to the station

'''[http://www.ldlines.fr/ LD Lines website]'''

Plane

Le Havre-Octeveille Airport ('''[http://www.havre.aeroport.fr/ Airport website]''')

Flights from '''[[Lyon]]''', '''[[Toulouse]]''' and '''[[Brighton]]'''

Bus to the town center

Car

- From '''Paris''' : motorways A13 then A131 (via the Bridge of Tancarville - 2 hours)

- From '''Western France''' : motorways A84 then A13 and A131 (via the Bridge of Normandy - 1 hour from [[Caen]] / 2 hours from Mont Saint Michel)

- From '''Nothern''' and '''Eastern France''' : motorway A29

Hitchhiking

Good spots to leave Le Havre :

- traffic lights near the station (Quai Colbert / Cours de la République)

- gas stations (Esso - BP) on Boulevard Winston Churchill

- toll booths of Bridge of Normandy (to Western France, you must go by bus #20 and #50) or Bridge of Tancarville (to Rouen and Paris. But there are no bus !)

Coach

From '''Caen''', '''Lisieux''' and the '''Lower-Normandy''' : '''Bus Verts''' (14€ - one way)

'''[http://www.busverts.fr/ Bus Verts web site]'''

The bus station is near the station.

===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

'''[http://www.bus-oceane.com/presentation/index.asp?rub_code=35 Vélocéane website]'''

'''[http://www.ville-lehavre.fr/delia-CMS/guichet_virtuel/rubrique/article_id-/topic_id-544/velo.html Informations about segregated cycle facilities in Le Havre]

Foot

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