Digue Nord, Coastal breakwater in Le Havre, France.
The Digue Nord extends into the English Channel, forming a protective barrier that shields the port from strong waves and adverse maritime conditions.
The construction of this maritime infrastructure during the early 19th century marked a crucial development in Le Havre's evolution as a major French port.
The breakwater serves as a gathering point for local fishermen who maintain traditional fishing practices passed down through generations in Le Havre.
Access to Digue Nord is available through Boulevard Clemenceau, with dedicated parking spaces and pathways leading to the structure's entrance.
The structure provides an observation point where visitors can watch large cargo ships enter the port while standing above crashing waves.
