jan44134 Posted February 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We are looking for an attraction suggestion in LeHavre (not interested in trying to cram Paris into one day). Museum Malraux looks like a possibility. Any other ideas close to port? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted February 6, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2010 We are looking for an attraction suggestion in LeHavre (not interested in trying to cram Paris into one day). Museum Malraux looks like a possibility. Any other ideas close to port? thanks! Don't know the museum, but Le Havre is not an attractive town, it's a port, with little for the tourist If you decide against Paris (wise move), consider the approx 12 mile drive (bus or easier by taxi) to the fishing port of Honfleur - very pretty, good bars, restaurants etc. or further along to the twin-towns of Trouville/Deauville for much of the same. Or the train to Rouen. Many Brits head by hire car or taxi/van or private tour company to the D-Day beaches, starting with Pegasus Bridge, between Caen & Ouistreham. But the US beaches start at Arromanches - some Americans will do it, others might baulk at the distance, but its much closer than Paris. Dial these places into Google & Googlemaps & see what you think. Also worth switching/repeating your question on the Western Europe forum, this one's for France's Mediterranean ports John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted February 6, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I agree with getting over to Honfleur. A very pretty town that's walkable, no need for a tour. As for which board to post--tell that to the moderators! (I.e., it's not clear at all, there is no indication on the "British Isles, Northern/Western Europe" board that northern France, Spain and Portugal are included. Silly really, the whole structure.
