What To Expect
The Le Havre Cruise Terminal, located at the tip of Florida, welcomes cruise ships at the Roger Meunier, Pierre Callet, and Joannes Couvert quays. This terminal, open only on stopover days, serves as a major gateway for travelers seeking to explore Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and even transatlantic destinations. Le Havre, a city with a rich maritime history, has rebuilt itself after the devastating bombings of September 1944, which destroyed much of the city. Today, it stands out not only for its modern architecture but also for its vitality as the main port of call and embarkation in northern France. Over the past decade, cruise travel has seen significant growth here, further solidifying Le Havre's position as a key hub for maritime journeys to numerous destinations.
Pont de Normandie
The bridge was designed by Michel Virlogeux, the general studies having been led by Bernard Raspaud from Bouygues. The works management was shared between G. Barlet and P. Jacquet. The architects were François Doyelle and Charles Lavigne. Construction by Bouygues, Campenon Bernard, Dumez, Monberg & Thorsen, Quillery, Sogea and Spie Batignolles began in 1988 and lasted seven years. The bridge opened on 20 January 1995.

5.00My husband and I had a great time. Remy is a personable and excellent tour guide and driver. We had a great time learning about the area and the history. This was a great way to travel to and through Honfleur and the countryside. Definitely the highlight of our vacation. Thank you, Remy. All of our Calvados made it home and intact!

5.00Nicholas was a engaging courteous guide. Answered questions and provided a ton of history along the way. The bike was well maintained and comfortable (except a little cold in the damp chilly English countryside.)
Fun in France

5.00I can’t recommend this sidecar motorcycle tour enough! From the moment we hopped into the new vintage sidecar, we knew we were in for something special. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Le Havre and its history, but also clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of the region.
Must do!

5.00My wife and I were met by Nickolas at the pick up location and at the agreed upon time. The vintage motorcycle with side car tour was a special experience for us! With his great local knowledge, Nickolas treated us to a tour of beautiful views, architecture and history of the area. He stopped at several sites to let us take memorable photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour or tour guide! We highly recommend this to other adventurous travelers!
WONDERFUL
