Anse des Regates marina, Le Havre, Normandy, France

Anse des Regates marina and behind, the tower of the Eglise Saint-Joseph or St Joseph's Church, built 1951-58 as a memorial to the 5000 citizens of the town who died during the Second World War, designed by Auguste Perret, 1874-1954, and Raymond Audigier, Le Havre, Normandy, France. The church's 107m tall tower acts as a beacon from out at sea. Perret led the reconstruction of Le Havre in the 1950s, after the town was completely destroyed in WWII. The centre of Le Havre is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
