Festive Atmosphere Le Havre celebrates Christmas and is dressed in white and blue. Discover the market on Place Perret, not far from the historic show flat, at the heart of the city centre listed as a World Heritage site. On this occasion, the Tourist Office invites on family and/or party weekends to enjoy and discover the city at Christmas time ! Le Havre in Paris, of course ! Le Havre, with the recent success of the Jacques Vabre Transatlantic race, will be at the Paris Boat Show to confirm its desire to develop watersports; on this occasion, a programme of races and regattas for 2010 will be unveiled and should make the city otherwise known as the “Gateway to the Ocean”, the inescapable stop on the Channel’s coast. Exhibitions Le Havre explores... the depths of the sea with “Abysses” in the Docks Vauban. Le Havre questions what happens “Before Birth” at the Museum of Natural History. Le Havre raptures over “the clouds, the marvellous clouds” photographed or painted, at the Malraux Museum.

-- Clouds, these marvellous clouds -- Through exhibitions "Tribute and digressions" inaugurated in 2004 with Wave 1 and Wave 2, around major works from its collections, the Malraux Museum honors the studies of sky by Eugène Boudin, by exploring the funds given by the artist’ s brother in 1900 and enriched in 2004 by 17 new pieces of the Senn-Foulds donation.
Boudin is not the only one, of course, to focus on atmospheric phenomena. During the nineteenth century other painters have tried to capture the movement and the immateriality of the clouds (Constable, Degas ...) but Boudin is probably the one who spoke with most emotion and poetry of the researches that he made. |

-- Abysses exhibition -- This exhibition introduces the world of abysses in an educational, aesthetic and scientific way through a progressive submersion towards the conquest of the depths of the sea. It presents unseen pictures of this largely unknown world, magnificent films and most of all, some unique species. This exhibition has three goals: allow the public to discover this incredibly rich world (we know the surface of the moon better than the world of abysses), to love this world (we only protect what we love) and finally to protect it (everything that the public will have the opportunity to see is currently endangered). |
