Bassin du commerce, Body of water in Le Havre, France

The Bassin du Commerce features a rectangular shape with long quays that connect directly to the Seine River through a system of locks.

The basin emerged during the 19th century expansion of Le Havre's port infrastructure to accommodate larger commercial vessels and increase maritime trade capacity.

The basin stands at the center of Le Havre's maritime identity, with regular nautical events and exhibitions celebrating the region's connection to the sea.

Multiple diving centers operate around the basin, offering equipment rental and guided underwater excursions with a maximum depth of 13 feet.

This enclosed seawater pond maintains its own marine ecosystem, providing divers and snorkelers with opportunities to observe local aquatic species.
