ANTIFER HEADLIGHT
Read moreOverlooking its high stature and the oil port, Antifer's lighthouse is also the guardian of the city of Le Havre and that of the sea. He has been guiding the sailors since 1894. The current building, up to 37 meters above sea level, was built in 1949, replacing the first building destroyed by the German army in September 1944. Every twenty seconds, its light beam illuminates the horizon and warns the boats. The peaceful nature in the surrounding area remains impassive to the ballet of these marine monsters.
DONJON
Read moreBuilt at the end of the 11th century to defend the Risle valley, the Brionne keep is one of the rare square Norman keeps still standing today. Note the thickness of its walls, nearly 4 meters, and admire the remains of the bays and a chimney, the latter being as if suspended in the void! Dismantled in the 18th century by the lords of Brionne, this building marks the landscape with its power and remains the flagship symbol of the town despite its minor role during the Hundred Years War. From the heights, the panoramic view is superb.
