Built in 1932 and designed by Henri Pacon, Le Havre's railway station is one of few buildings to survive the intense bombing of the city in World War II. This art deco station building replaced the original, of which all that remains is the roof over the platforms. The station hall, with its impressive roof and windows, and beautiful clock, still have the power to transport the onlooker back in time to days of greater attention to aesthetics and detail. It's a real treat just to walk around and sit in this station, what to speak of catch a train from here!
