About this listen

In this episode of the TSJ CruisePod – Your Journey Beyond the Waves, host Thomas Sebastian Jensen takes you to Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage city that tells a story of renewal and design. Once destroyed during World War II, Le Havre rose again under the vision of architect Auguste Perret, becoming a landmark of modern urbanism.

Follow Thomas through the city’s striking sights – from The Volcano by Oscar Niemeyer to the luminous St. Joseph’s Church and the open spaces around City Hall. Along the way, he shares practical travel tips, including how to get from the pier to downtown, and whether a side trip to Paris is worth it.

A journey through light, architecture, and the spirit of rebuilding – proof that beauty often begins with a new beginning.
