A Sixth? Posted April 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We're overnighting in le Harve on our Celebrity Silhouette cruise this June and see by Google Maps that it's about a half hour walk BUT they post a warning "This route has restricted usage or private roads." So, what's the scoop? :p https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/49.492284,0.1254306/Terminal+Croisi%C3%A8re+Le+Havre,+Quai+Roger+Meunier,+76059+Le+Havre,+France/@49.4871345,0.1092257,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x47e02eddf912d2b9:0x30de835d1327c8be!2m2!1d0.108994!2d49.481718!3e2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted April 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2016 For whatever reason on my googlemaps there's no "restricted usage" warning. Probably because I'm an EU citizen :D Same as many ports, access is restricted to those with a legitimate reason for being there. In the unlikely event that you're challenged your ship card will cover you. The walk is level, but boring & industrial - and like all such places it's further than it looks. I'd be lazy & jump a taxi. You might want to do the same if its raining. ;) JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, we'll probably get a cab... what would that cost? (ball park) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk was easy - took us just a tad under a half hour. There was no restricted usage for pedestrians - we took the shortcut just south of the Citadelle Basin - also walked back to the ship at the end of our day.

A Sixth? Posted April 8, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks for the replies! Did the google walk and man, you're right .... it's an industrial wasteland for the first 1/2 - 2/3 but well worth knowing it's an option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
