	Le Havre - Wikipedia
		Le Havre ist eine relativ junge Stadt, da sie erst im Jahre 1517 auf Anregung des Admirals Bonnivet als Kriegshafen erbaut wurde - die offizielle Gründungsurkunde des Königs Franz I. für das damalige Franciscopolis stammt vom 8.
		Der neue Hafen Le Havre sollte dem wachsenden Überseehandel gerecht werden, aber durch seine Befestigung auch der militärischen Sicherung der Seinemündung dienen.
		Die Hugenotten fanden in der Stadt nach 1560 viele Anhänger, was eine militärische Reaktion der Katholiken provozierte (siehe: Hugenottenkriege), allerdings erhielten die Protestanten Le Havres auch Unterstützung durch England, das 6.000 Mann unter dem Kommando des Grafen von Warwick schickte, der hier das Fort Warwick erbauen ließ, ohne sich allerdings lange halten zu können.

	The Cigarette Camps: U. S. Army Camps in the Le Havre Area -- Introduction
		After the Allies secured the French harbor of Le Havre (left) (on the eastern side of the Bay of the Seine, opposite Cherbourg, as in the modern map view of Northern France below), the Americans began ringing the city with camps that served as staging areas for new troops arriving in the ETO.
		The city of Le Havre had fallen on September 12, 1944, but because of the persistence of the German defense and the ferocity of the Allied air assault, much of it was destroyed, including the world-class harbor facilities so coveted by the British and Americans.
		Occupation troops also continued to arrive at Le Havre and spend a few days at a "cigarette camp" before receiving final orders throughout 1945, although by 1946, they were falling into disrepair and were becoming little more than the ramshackle collections of tents pitched in vast mudholes that they were two years before.

		With hindsight it seems that Le Havre had lost any strategic significance it might have had, but it was still in German hands and it was decreed that RAF bombers should flatten the town.
		So the layout of Le Havre today consists of an adjusted plan not a new one, with streets widened, arcaded or straightened, but always marching to the bleak rhythm of the concrete-framed immeuble.
		The last sight of Le Havre, as the town recedes, is the stark phare of Saint-Joseph, lingering reproachfully until it merges with the weather.

	Le Havre
		Although Le Havre's reputation perhaps commenced in 1520 with the construction of the (then) largest french ship ever built, the Françoise, it was Colbert who decided on the creation of the Arsénal de la Marine in Le Havre in 1670 - various reasons being advanced for this establishment facing England between Dunkerque and Brest.
		Le Havre was basically a marshy area and subject to silting in the floating docks and a heavy build-up of pebbles at the entrance (hence the sea wall to the North and West of the entrance).
		The Lamandé plan of 1787 was the first attempt at making the port into a viable commercial harbour, but because of the wars it was well over 30 years before it was fully implemented.
