Le Havre de Grâce was established in 1517 by Francis I, King of France. 

In September 1944, 80% of the city centre was destroyed and the port was completely devastated.

It has taken twenty years for Le Havre to find a new lease of life. In July 2005, UNESCO added the city centre, rebuilt by Auguste Perret, to its World Heritage List.  Le Havre city centre is the first 20th century urban settlement in Europe to be added to the World Heritage List.
