About Le Havre City Hall
Le Havre City Hall is a monumental post-war landmark designed by architect Auguste Perret, standing as the most significant structure of French reconstruction after World War II. The building, inaugurated on July 14, 1958, features an 18-story tower rising 72 meters high and a 143-meter long horizontal wing housing reception halls and an integrated theater. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Le Havre, the City Rebuilt by Auguste Perret" since 2005, it exemplifies Perret's innovative use of reinforced concrete and his unique "structural classicism" style.

The tower's design was heavily contested by local newspapers who criticized Perret's 'mania for industrial-looking towers.' Architect Jacques Tournant had to submit over 20 different sketch projects before the municipal council finally approved the 18-story signal tower design we see today.
