In Le Havre, check where the bus drops you off before you leave, especially if your accommodation or connection is far away. The arrival stop is shown on your ticket and in your booking confirmation.
The best fares go first, especially on Fridays, Sundays and the eve of holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set to keep a choice of times and avoid last-minute fares.

How long to visit Le Havre?

With only one day, stick to the Perret centre, the seafront and lunch by the docks. Pack a windbreaker even in summer, and add a third day if you want to visit Étretat or Honfleur.
