Normandy Marina
Le Havre's marina — officially called Le Havre Plaisance — is one of France's rare deep-water marinas accessible 24/7, tide-free, so you can come and go whenever you like without watching the clock. With 1,270 berths, it's the second largest on the Normandy coast and sits just two and a half hours from Paris, making it a serious hub rather than a quiet backwater. The city itself is a UNESCO-listed modernist gem rebuilt by Auguste Perret after WWII, with beaches, markets, and museums worth exploring once you're tied up.
